This small radard is sensitive enough to identify playing cards by looking at the tiny texture. Looking forward to seeing magicians using this in card tricks. Face ID with hyper sensitive radard should also be very accurate.

Firstly, I think (though I could be wrong) that when they talk about privacy concerns they mean the sort of concerns the average person would have about having a camera about... I.e. naked or compromising pictures of themselves getting leaked. I would guess this wouldn't be a problem with radar as it doesn't create images. Out of curiosity though, not having much knowledge on the subject myself, what would be your se…
Don’t confuse privacy with secrecy. I know what you do in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That’s because you want privacy, not secrecy. (From I have nothing to hide. Why should I care about my privacy? : https://medium.com/@FabioAEsteves/i-have-nothing-to-hide-why... ) From a previous HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14394863 google has no business needing to know where I am or am not.…
But privacy is relevant here. Easy example: a person whispering,their private conversation no loses it's privacy due to lip movements being read. Two people enter a room and exchange an item for cash,with radar their transaction loses privacy.

Do facial recognition systems retrain themselves to compensate for change caused by growth or age?

Hmm are you sure? I thought they were just using hole cams still. Little cameras built into the rail or into the table that players just showed their hands to while playing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_cam
theyre both common. rfid/nfc is popular at the moment simply because it's cheaper; no table to cut up or glass/cameras to put everywhere. as a poker player i've always been queezy about the idea that my hand could be read remotely in theory -- but I don't play those kind of tables anyway.

They do ... That's how they know what each player have in his hands at poker tournament live feeds

I can’t say I see the win with the from a HCI standpoint. I personally lust for more tactile feedback, not less!
Consider the playing cards example: instead of tapping on digital images of cards, you can now touch and hold physical cards to manipulate a digital system with one convenient sensor.
I remember a talk Pranav Mistry (Director of Samsung Think Tank) gave at TED, which is what Soli turned out to be.

Radar can create images just not true to life color photos. But, leak such a photo of a couple in their bedroom with the blinds closed and you have a problem.
I can see through my blinds with a regular Nikon 300mm zoom lens .... I think because there is enough light going through the bunch of holes?
Under some situations you can see through thin cloth blinds like this from the outside, but that’s mostly poor blind choices.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about weird dudes with prurient motivations scanning unconsenting people through the walls of their homes.
To expound, why people are taking issue with word choice: fet·ish·ize - verb - Make (something) the object of a sexual fetish. Ergo, fetishizing the technology prolly isn't what you meant.
