This looks interesting. Can you try it somewhere?

I love it when people find ways of using existing hardware with software innovation to make new interactions such as this!

Really interesting.

Reminds me of SOLI (which is radar rather than sonar): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QNiZfSsPc0

Is there a way of trying this out? I know it'd only be demo line drawing applications but it'd still be interesting to try.

This is much like Project Soli. I started dreading devices like that. Sonars everywhere.

How about security? How does it protect other uses from controlling your device?

How does your phone protect other people from pressing your volume buttons, or using your touchscreen? Security is pretty irrelevant for a HID.
