1. A detection system for a three-dimensional space defined by four walls, the detection system comprising:
a plurality of transmitters oriented in a respective plurality of directions and configured to produce uniform millimeter wave illumination of the three-dimensional space, with at least one transmitter of the plurality of transmitters being located on each of the four walls;
a plurality of receivers configured to determine object data including a direction, a phase, and a timing of signals reflected from one or more objects within the three-dimensional space, with at least one receiver of the plurality of receivers being located on each of the four walls; and
a processor configured to:
receive the object data,
detect the one or more objects in the three-dimensional space based on the object data, and
render an image corresponding to the one or more detected objects.
