More and more technology is changing our lives into something like that from a sci-fi movie. Soon flying cars, hover-boards, and robots will be an everyday part of our daily lives. Google is doing some amazing things to get us there too. It's very exciting and Google's Project Soli is one of those ideas that could catapult us into the realm of Star Trek or Back to the Future.
Project Soli is a new interaction sensor that uses radar technology to capture finger motions at 10,000 frames per second and it's unbelievably accurate. So accurate, that you could operate any device that's been fitted with this chip, without ever having to touch it.
The sensor is approximately the size of a small computer chip and it will transform your fingers into a virtual dial. You could control something as mundane as turning the volume up or down on a speaker, to something more advanced like turning your fingers into a virtual touchpad for a smartwatch or smartphone.
The chip is actually a miniature gesture radar and captures incredibly complex hand gestures at close range at mind-blowing frame rates. Given the nature of how small this chip really is, it's suitable for almost any device or any computerized machine.
The future is here, and it's friggin' cool!
