PROJECT SOLI

Project Soli from Google ATAP is a miniature radar that understands human motion at various scales: from the tap of your finger to the movements of your body... Our team has introduced the Soli chip, platform, and interaction model to the Pixel 4 phone. The Soli sensor is located at the top of the phone, creating an interactive hemisphere that can sense and understand movements around the phone¹... For the Nest Hub, our team tuned Soli's radar settings for an expanded gesture sensing range of 3m. This allows for natural interactions in a larger area of the home. In order to deliver this, we collected a new dataset of gesture samples and updated our model architecture to improve performance.
