Google Glass, making this device even more similar to gadgets from science fiction films about the future. For example, they wanted to make a gesture of selecting space for a photo with your hands or a command to “like” a favorite object by connecting your palms in a heart shape. However, the project was suspended along with the production of the glasses themselves in January 2015.

In June 2015, Google introduced the Soli technology. It uses radar that can detect the smallest movements of fingers in the air - down to a shift of just 1 millimeter. Since Soli detects the radio frequency range, and does finland mobile phone numbers database not read information through a camera, the device is able to recognize the movements of objects even if they are separated from the radar by another object (for example, another finger). An example of the use of Soli was the introduction of radar into smart watches: to set the time, you need to turn an imaginary wheel, like on a mechanical watch. Google believes that the project will appeal to users of devices with such a function, since small finger movements do not require extra effort and are intuitive: each of us can easily depict pressing a button or moving a slider when adjusting the sound.

However, it is not yet clear whether they plan to implement Soli in watches or other devices in the near future. They promised to tell developers about this later this year.


In general, gesture control has long ceased to be something
fantastic. The question is not so much about the technology for its implementation,
but about the appropriateness and convenience of its use. After all, gestures are far from
always more convenient than a simple click on the touchpad. This side of the issue was presented in
an ironic form in Google's humorous video for April Fools' Day,
where the company introduced the fictitious Gmail Motion service.
