Project Soli is an input technology developed by Google ATAP. It utilizes radios waves and radar receiver to detect the movement and gesture of your hands and fingers. Shaped as a chip the size of a quarter, Soli can be embedded in any wearables and electronic devices. The initial applications for the radar system are smartphones and smartwatches.

How Does It Work?

Solis uses board beam radar to measure everything from spectrogram to doppler image to IQ. Using these information, The tiny circuit board is able determine the hand size, motion and velocity. It then resolves these movements to pre-programmed commands.

The API for Soli will be released late 2015.
