Researchers have developed HybridSim, a novel physics-learning hybrid simulator designed to generate realistic mmWave radar signals for dynamic human motion. This tool synthesizes signals by decoupling propagation into direct and indirect paths, using a tri-plane representation and Graph Convolutional Network for human features and a microfacet BRDF for surface reflections. HybridSim also approximates indirect paths with 3D Gaussian Splatting and a virtual-receiver geometry, significantly reducing computational costs compared to full ray tracing. The simulator demonstrates improved agreement with physical models and enhances downstream radar-based human sensing tasks through site-specific data augmentation. AI
