| contents | A smartwatch worn continuously on the wrist has the potential to perceive rich interactive gestures and natural behaviors of the user. Unfortunately, the current interaction functionality of smartwatches is primarily limited by the small touch screen. This paper proposes SonarWatch, a novel sensing technique that uses the acoustic field generated by the transceiver on the opposite sides of the watch to detect the presence of nearby objects and their shapes. This enables a range of gesture interactions and natural behavior perception. We designed an algorithm combining IMU and acoustic fields to identify these actions and optimize power consumption. We tested the performance of SonarWatch in different noise environments, achieving an overall accuracy of 93.7%. Its power consumption is close to that of physiological sensors. SonarWatch can achieve the above capabilities by utilizing the existing built-in sensors, making it a technology with solid practical value. |
