Smart Theremin Based on Electromagnetic Metasurfaces for Fine Dual‐Hand Perception

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The proposed Meta‐Theremin leverages a frequency‐spatial multiplexing metasurface to enable robust dual‐hand perception by shielding environmental noise and confining EM fields to interaction zones. Its physics‐informed neural network decouples hand‐specific echoes, enhancing accuracy.
