Project Soli is now the only gesture chip that can be found within Google’s public project database, and it has recently been approved by the FCC. Google has spent years trying to develop a radar-based gesture chip that is able to detect motion at an increasingly intricate rate. Their goal has been to develop a chip that can sense even the simplest maneuvers nearby, and they’ve achieved this with the release of their newest gesture chip product.
Key Takeaways:
- Digital devices that can detect hand movements are typically equipped with Project Soli radar chips.
- Since a frequency band of 57- to 64-GHz has been approved by the FCC, Google now has the most efficient Project Soli technology.
- When it comes to Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects department, Project Soli is the last project remaining.
“The biggest news to come out of the FCC documents is just that Project Soli isn’t dead. The project is being developed at Google’s “Advanced Technology and Projects” (ATAP) division, which is infamous for announcing important-sounding projects that never see the light of day.”
