Soli is one of the projects of Google ATAP(Advanced Technology And Project group)
Soli is a new sensing technology that uses miniature radar to detect touchless gesture interactions.
5. What is project
soli…?
○ Project Soli is a sensor that uses the radar
technology which can easily be used in
even the smallest wearable's that fits
within a tiny chip.
○ It is capable of accurately detecting your
hand movements in real-time.
○ Its like Leap Motion and other gesture-
tracking controllers.
6. About project
soli
o The founder of the project soli is Ivan
Poupyrev , and announced at google
I/O 2015.
o The chip is small in size of a 5x5 mm
and made up of a silicon.
o The team has created a radar which
has the interaction sensor running at
60GHz.
o It captures motions of fingers at a
phenomenal rate of 10,000 frames
per second

7. Working
○ The tiny circuit board is able determine
the hand size, motion and velocity.
○ It then uses machine-learning to translate
these movements to pre-programmed
commands .
○ Doppler effect to detect speed.

9. Advantages
○ Allows to control Gadgets with gestures.
○ Allows free hand typing.
○ Good Accuracy over control.
○ Need not to carry gadgets while using
them.

10. Disadvantages
○ It has a very small radar range.
○ Multiple gestures could not be possible.
○ Highly Expensive.
○ Security Threat.

11. Conclusion
One of the big problems with wearable
devices right now is inputs - there's no
simple way to control these devices.
Therefore gestures will be used by
individuals to carry out certain functions
with electronic machines such as
Smartphone's and desktops.
