Welcome to Project Soli

[@MahelaDimuth]

so this is what google was doing while Apple was removing the headphone Jack.

[@harshadvaviya5361]

Mahela Dimuth btw no headphone jack is not apple's idea, it was first introduced by Motorola in moto z line up. Check out. So apple isn't even trying to invent or create any thing they are just copying things or borrowing things.#RIPApple

[@deanban]

Yep. Then again, unlike Google, Apple has always been very cloak and dagger with their r&d in development. They always have been more interested in building on [sometimes violently] acquired tech rather than developing from scratch.

[@harshadvaviya5361]

Blissfully_ineffable yes. Even the new touch bar in apple macbook pro was first introduced by Toshiba.

[@deanban]

harshad vaviya Oh, I didn't know that. It makes sense though.

[@petterv6604]

[@NinjaTyr257]

Caudex yeah maybe in the near future it could convert hand signals into real hand motion in the virtual world ,therefore we wouldn't need the controllers for the HTC vive but instead our hands

[@stopfidgetting]

hrishikesh rajesh It seems like a nice alternative to the stereo imaging of the kinect. I wonder how it will hold up to the leap motion.

[@rj_ay8172]

I'd still prefer to be holding a controller in VR for when I pick something up though. Unless I'm using the Force

[@NinjaTyr257]

[@rj_ay8172]

hrishikesh rajesh there's that new vive controller prototype that straps around your hands though, that's going to be helpful

[@manikyadav7234]

Pixel 4 is here and they decided not to put the full functionality from project soli to the pixel devices. Instead they choose a approach where dispite of having all the hardware available to use soli, they will make it seem like they are improving this tech on future pixel phones so that they can capitalize on soli’s functionality as longer as possible. A tech which was available since 2015 will fully penetrate the market by year 2025 or so, just because of the corporate greed. What a great world we live in!

[@Anthonyg5005]

I think they were showing the potential of what it could be used for, not what it can do. either way, the pixel 4 already was limited on battery power so using even more power on the radar would not be a good idea

If it can capture the entire hand, you could make a real time "sign language" translator.

[@captainkesh]

The possibilities are endless. I thought of surgeons doing microsurgery with robotic hands remotely. Holy smokes this is genius

[@MikeTrieu]

Part of the allure of robotic telesurgery is the force feedback element of the manipulators. How are you going to recreate this sensation solely with radar?

[@captainkesh]

@@MikeTrieu great point. i have no idea what the current mechanisms are for dealing with this problem. you are right there is only visible feedback with something like this unless you could wear some kind of mechanised glove that responds to the robot arms sensors and then latency is of course an issue as well.

[@heldercaze6333]

They accomplished all this.

[@VulcanOnWheels]

This also has potential for use with sign language.

[@pilotavery]

No, not at all. It wouldn't be able to read a face, you would need a camera for that. (deaf and fluent in sign language, also an engineer) The difference between "I got it" and "I don't understand" is purely with different expression. The difference between "he is late" and "hasnt happened yet" is sticking your tongue out making the "th" sound. The face, shoulders, and depictive verb classifiers make up too much grammar, so much that the meaning gets lost if you cover the face. the grammar is different, so it also needs to be interpreted/translated. "finish touch never" means "never have been to before" or "past happen what finish touch touch 13th, total wow" translates to "I have been there thirteen times in my life!" etc. Google translate breaks the languages enough. also no signs for "be is am are" etc. signs don't translates to words the same. like "have you eaten cupcakes?" doesn't use the sign for "have" since it only means possession. it doesn't translate.

[@VulcanOnWheels]

Avery Kucan Maybe, but I know there is a kind of sign language that basically replaces words with gestures. I can't think of the name at the moment.

[@pilotavery]

+Bert Visscher Signed Exact English? SEE? Still no, unable to comprehend the dozens of handshakes.

[@VulcanOnWheels]

Avery Kucan Yes, that's it. See.

[@pilotavery]

Bert Visscher SEE isn't used though, except to interpret between asl and English, so the only people that would use it already are hearing anyway. It's to relay English to a deaf interpreter to interpret again into asl. Deaf people don't use SEE, so it would be useless.

[@nonoachim]

[@KEWLIOSUCKA]

+J_laubster Well you wouldn't need them for some applications, but when you're playing a shooter and are supposed to be holding a gun, it wouldn't help with immersion. Sure you could use your fingers, but I think holding a controller with enough of a gun shape to it and some good haptic feedback would be miles better. The REALLY good usage of it would be to use both devices in tandem, best of both worlds.

[@amit84417]

Or could use the hand gesture with VR with games like The Elder Scrolls Skyrim Mind = Blown

***** This tech IS the improvement.

Also with no moving parts they will last longer than their physical predecessors.

[@srijal]

If people decided some 50 years ago that ", it's time to stop inventing and improve what we already have." imagine where we would be. Now imagine what will happen 50 years later if we decide that today.

[@Yahweh_Is_Great]

agreed, in addition think of the power consumption, the chip probably communicates via digital cmos so you're looking at a pushbutton that consumes/distributes 1.5volts at 20mA possibly. 1.5 is based off CMOS noise margins commonly found in digital IC's and 20mA is the higher end of modern current consumption of MCUs. Not only saving power but surely this human interface has a place somewhere in the biomedical field, it's not necessarily a new interface that makes this product unique but rather the application of RF to harness very fine discrete motions on low power consumption.

For instance in Be Right Back - people will keep the social media accounts of their deceased loved ones around, and look back to them just to read words that person wrote.

The technology is so promising that it never debut since 2014.

[@LillyIrani]

The experience of moving a physical object is really different from making the physical gesture that simulates the moving object. While I congratulate the team for the technical achievement, this gesture control makes us all into mimes who have to position our bodies as if there were physical things there while there are not. I suspect the power of this gesture control will ultimately come from gestures that are organic to what is comfortable for bodies in space, rather than this simulation of manipulation.

well done, outstanding piece of new gesture controls about to be featured in the upcoming electronics gadgets.

[@bishoymaurice272]

The most beneficial part would be creating user defined gestures, which can help people with special abilities to control and interact with the digital world. In abstract, letting the machine do something in a way created and defined by the user is something essential. That will create more instinctive and intuitive user experience. The more the machine becomes more personal and easily used the more it will be effective and joyful.

so uhm ... what happened to it?

[@nabinchapagain7311]

Maybe they patented the design or something as apple uses a lot of these gesture controls in their watches and apple glasses (iglasses or whatever they are called). I have seen similar techniques used in microsoft hololens too. Maybe they developed their own version, but the technology is there…
