1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium, having stored thereon processor-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor of an interactive audio device, cause the processor to detect physiological movement of a user, the processor-executable instructions comprising:
instructions to control transmitting, via a transmitter that is coupled to the interactive audio device, a radio frequency (RF) signal in a vicinity of the interactive audio device;
instructions to control sensing, via a receiver that is coupled to the interactive audio device, a reflection of the transmitted signal;
instructions to derive a physiological movement signal with at least a portion of the sensed reflected signal and a signal representative of at least a portion of the transmitted signal;
instructions to generate a control signal to control a change in operation of the interactive audio device comprising activating microphone sensing for initiating interactive voice assistant operations of the interactive audio device, whereby an inactive interactive voice assistant process is engaged, wherein initiating the interactive voice assistant operations is further based on detection of a verbal keyword by the microphone sensing; and
instructions to generate an output based on an evaluation of at least a portion of the derived physiological movement signal, and
wherein the generated output comprises an interactive query and response presentation.
