    Google's Project Soli

    Google's Project Soli radar gesture tracking looks awesome

    Project Soli might just be the most intriguing thing to come out of Google I/O. It's being developed by Google's advanced technologies group, which has spawned the Ara modular smartphone and the 3D-scanning Tango. With Soli, the advanced technology is radar-based motion tracking contained within a tiny silicon chip. Check it out:




    Soli promises sub-millimeter precision with fast tracking on a chip small enough for wearables. That's kind of awesome, and not just because it reminds me of the hand-held input thingy in Black Mirror. If Soli is as good as advertised—and relatively cheap to implement—it has huge potential for a wide range of devices.

    Google Project Soli touch-free typing demonstrated in video

    Project Soli was first unveiled at Google I/O in May last year. Since that time we have heard and seen very little about the device, which is designed to enable new types of touchless interactions with our connected devices. Recently Google started sending out development kits to testers and one of them has published a video demonstrating at least one compelling use for Project Soli – a touchless keyboard.
    First of all let's sum up what Project Soli is, and what it is designed for. The project seeks to address the user interaction challenge caused by the otherwise attractive tininess of wearables. People now are used to large touch screen devices so moving from these to a tiny sliver of a screen and a button or two, for example, is a jarring experience.





    Project Soli frees device interaction from a screen or similar surface to make the human hand, in the air, "a natural, intuitive interface for our devices". Google ATAP says that it can be produced at scale and made small enough to fit into wearable devices. The Soli sensor is said to be able to "track sub-millimetre motions at high speed and accuracy". Have a look at the official video above for an overview of how early test units work.


    As reported by Liliputing, a new video has just been published by one of the recipients of a Soli development kit. Engineer Alex Bravo likes to dabble in air-keyboards and has leveraged the Soli hardware to demo something he calls Soli-Type. In the video below you can see Bravo simply moving his fingers above the device to enter text into a smartphone app. This is just one of many potential applications for such a miniature sensing radar hardware project. Hopefully it can live up to expectations and provide some fluid, intuitive new ways of working with our connected devices, whether they have a big-touch screen available or not.
