Abstract
Techniques are provided for alerting a user of a virtual reality (VR) system of hazards in the proximate environment. An example method of proximity sensing with a virtual reality headset includes communicating with a station via a first wireless link, detecting a target object using radio frequency sensing on a second wireless link, determining a rate of approach associated with the target object, and generating an alert based at least in part on the rate of approach.
