INTRODUCTION
Project Soli, developed by
Google's Advanced Technology
and Projects (ATAP) group, is a
technology that uses radar to
detect and interpret human
motions and gestures
Soli enables users to control
devices with precise hand
movements, without
physically touching the
device.
Project Soli is a gesture
recognition technology that uses
miniature radar to detect
touchless gesture interactions
Soli chip
The Soli chip incorporates the entire sensor and antenna array
into an ultra-compact 8mm x 10mm package.
………
It consists of 2 transmitting antennas and 4 receiving antennas
and uses Doppler effect.
………
Soli has no moving parts, it fits onto a chip and consumes
………
little energy.
…
The radar has the interaction sensor running at 60GHz
......
frequency, 5mm wavelength and has a range of 0.5- 5m range.
Its field of view is 350 degree.
How Does Project Soli Work?
Hardware
1/3.Soli sensor technology works by emitting electromagnetic waves in a broad
beam.
2/3.Objects within the beam scatter this energy , reflecting some portion back
towards the radar antenna.
Hardware
3/3.Properties of the reflected signal , such as energy , time delay, and
frequency shift capture rich information about the object’s characteristics and
dynamics , including size , shape, orientation, material distance, and velocity
software
The Soli software architecture consists of a generalized gesture
recognition pipeline which is hardware agnostic and can work
with different types of radar.
The pipeline implements several stages of signal abstraction
raw radar data to signal transformations
software
• Core and abstract machine learning features
• Detection and tracking
• Gesture probabilities
• UI tools to interpret gesture controls.
Gesture Recognition
Data Preprocessing: signal enhancement
Feature Extraction:Key parameters like Doppler shifts
Model Training: machine learning model
Gesture Classification:Real-time radar signals are fed into
the model
Feedback Loop:Algorithms learn and improve from user
feedback
Technical Specifications of
Project Soli
• Radar frequency: 60 GHz
• Radar resolution: 1 mm
• Gesture recognition accuracy: 95%
• Power consumption: 1 mW
Why Radar
Insensitive to the light.
Can transmit over plastic materials like polycarbonate.
3D gesture recognition possible.
Recognition of overlapping fingers.
Sub-millimeter resolution with micro-Doppler and time analysis.
Applications
Soli will play a crucial role in the
future of wearable technology,
mobile interactions , smart
appliance, Iot, mobile VR & AR
systems.
Currently soli is working with LG smartwatches and
JBL for consumer products which are expected to be
released next year
Applications
Soli Radar-Based
Perception and
Interaction in Pixel 4
The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are optimized for ease of
use, and a key feature helping to realize this goal
is Motion Sense
Conclusion
No doubt the next break through technology for
electronic gadgets provie a high accuracy input to
devices by Soli
Soli technology will play a crucial role in the future
of wearable and mobile interactions, smart
applicances and Internet of things , Mobile VR and
AR systems, interactive robots and drones.
