Claim 18:
19. A system, comprising:
a display;
a first plurality of radar-based transceivers;
a second plurality of radar-based transceivers;
wherein each radar-based transceiver includes a radar-based transmitter and a radar-based receiver;
wherein the first plurality of radar-based transceivers faces inward toward a center of the display and is configured to transmit first radio waves into a first area in a vicinity of an electronic device and receive the first radio waves reflected off of one or more first objects in the first area, wherein the first plurality of radar-based transceivers is configured to detect touch gestures from one or more users;
wherein the second plurality of radar-based transceivers faces outward from the display and is configured to transmit second radio waves into a second area in the vicinity of the electronic device and receive the second radio waves reflected off of one or more second objects in the second area, wherein the second plurality of radar-based transceivers is configured to detect in-the-air gestures from the one or more users; and
one or more processors configured to process at least one of the first radio waves as reflected or the second radio waves as reflected to determine the touch gestures and the in-the-air gestures;
wherein the first plurality of radar-based transceivers is configured to transmit a majority of the first radio waves in a direction parallel to the display and the second plurality of radar-based transceivers is configured to transmit a majority of the second radio waves in a direction that is perpendicular to the display.
