Arkhangel Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Project Soli is that wearable, but it’s not the wearable you might think it is. It’s not a watch; it’s you. Google ATAP knows your hand is the best method you have for interaction with devices, but not everything is a device. Project Soli wants to make your hands and fingers the only user interface you’ll ever need. To make that happen, Project Soli is really a radar that is small enough to fit into a wearable like a smartwatch. The small radar picks up on your movements in real-time, and uses movements you make to alter its signal. At rest, the hand is actually moving slightly, which end up as a baseline response on the radar. Moving the hand away from or side-to-side in relation to the radar changes the signal and amplitude. Making a fist or crossing fingers also changes the signal. http://thenextweb.com/google/2015/05/29/google-unveils-project-soli-a-radar-based-wearable-to-control-anything/ Controlling a smartphone via the sleeve on your coat isn’t something you can do — yet. If Google’s ATAP division has their way, we’ll all have the ability soon. [...] Your entire coat sleeve could be interactive, or just part of the pattern on it. If you wore a coat with repetitive squares, one could be receptive to touch. If that square pattern were instead stars, one or more of the stars could end up as your touch interface. [...]The simplest example of how Project Jacquard was useful in day-to-day life was with Google’s mobile music player. Via a touch or swipe either way, you could control the playback, track and volume. http://thenextweb.com/google/2015/05/30/hands-on-googles-project-jacquard-is-the-intersection-of-clothing-and-connectivity/ On one hand, this would make you feel like a wizard. On the other, if we have become so lazy that the act of PRESSING A BUTTON is too much effort then I fear for the human race. Is there a point at which we should stop making things easier?

DreamSongs Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I can understand where there would be a practical application for those with limited movement, but for the public on a widescale basis? That I am not so sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
