1. A system comprising:
a phased array antenna;
an antenna module configured to:
detect, using the phased array antenna, wireless signals from at least one user device in an environment; and
determine a location of the at least one user device in the environment;
a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system configured to:
transmit, via the phased array antenna, microwave radar signals into the environment;
receive, via the phased array antenna, reflected signals from the environment including information about at least one of a distance and a movement of one or more objects in the environment; and
generate a three-dimensional (3D) spatial map of the environment based on the reflected signals, wherein the 3D spatial map includes the location of the at least one user device;
a device module configured to:
connect to the at least one user device; and
receive, from the at least one user device, sensor data;
an orientation module configured to determine orientation information for the at least one user device based on the sensor data; and
an integration module configured to integrate data including the 3D spatial map, the location of the at least one user device, the orientation information, and the sensor data to create an augmented reality (AR) representation of the environment.
