Google's project soli may soon render touch screens obsolete
1. Google's Project Soli May Soon Render Touch Screens Obsolete
Google plans to take the word “wearable” to a whole new level. According to the search engine giant,
the days of using remote controls is soon to be obsolete thanks to the latest technology it is working on.
According to Google’s Ivan Poupyrev, the company is been working on new technology that allows users
to control devices by making gestures in the air.
Google latest technology 2015 goes by the name, “Project Soli” and basically user’s radar waves to help
it detect finger movements also called “finger micromotions.” What you get is something straight out of
a science fiction movie, such as Avengers, where the characters can be seen manipulating virtual objects
by simply making gestures with their fingers.
This project is currently in the works at Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects Lab, where the
company is currently focused on this sort of futuristic technology which is currently being led by Regina
Dugan. This project is not to be mistaken though with Google X labs which is busy developing the
automated cars and internet balloons. Meanwhile, for those who can’t wait, Google has showcased its
prototype of the Soli technology and is quite happy with the results. The company was able to show just
how accurate Soli is when it came to fine motor skills like, pinching with the index finger or rubbing
things virtually without really making contact with your hands. In fact, in one of the demos the founder
of Google’s Project Soli, Ivan Poupyrev was seen kicking a virtual football by simply flicking at the screen.
People can use their fingers as a sort of stylus, the only difference being, they wouldn’t have to touch
the screen or make any physical contact with those devices.
While Google did not make it clear whether they had any plans to make the chips so that devices could
have those capabilities, or if the company sees Soli as a kind of technology which should be standard
issue in most devices which are manufactured by other well known companies. While Google has no
doubt shown its interest in Soli, other technological companies such as, Oculus have also mentioned the
importance of similar technology in the past. But, we know one thing for sure, with Google’s new
technology 2015, conventional UI is never going to be the same.
