Google's New Tech Can Read Your Body Movement They will know what you will do next Without using Cameras

A division of Google introduced technology which uses cognitive and machine learning technologies. Instead of using a camera, the technology uses reflected radar waves to create a "socially intelligent device" that is controlled by waving your hand or turning your head.

Google has unveiled technology that can read people's body movements, allowing devices to "understand the social context around them" and make decisions. However, instead of using a camera, this technology uses radar. These radio waves are reflected and determine the distance or angle to nearby objects.

With this technology built into future devices, Netflix could automatically pause when the TV turns off when sleeping or when you get up from the sofa. With the help of
machine learning algorithms, this usually tells the device that someone is approaching or entering their "personal space".

It sounds futuristic and perhaps more aggressive than that. Is your computer following every move you make? But it seems less creepy when you realize that these technologies won't require you to rely on a camera to see where you are and what you're doing. Instead, it uses radar. Google's Advanced Technologies and Products division, better known as ATAP, a division responsible for unusual projects such as touch-sensitive denim jackets, has spent a lot of time studying how computers use radar to understand and respond to our needs or intentions. year has passed.

How Radar works

Radar stands for "Radio Detection and Ranging".

Uses high-frequency radio waves and was first developed to support fighter pilots during World War II. Simple works, A separate sensor detects when the machine sends out a wave and then reflects.

These devices are powered by Soli, a tiny chip that sends out radar waves to detect human movements, from heartbeats to body movements.

If it is built into a smart TV, it can be used to make decisions such as lowering the volume when it detects that we are sleeping. Information obtained from a tilted head position, indicating leaning against the edge of a chair or sofa.

Why Use Radar

The ATAP team decided to use radar because it is one of the more common methods to collect rich spatial data. (In addition, the delay is low, the delay is low, it works in dark places, external factors such as sound and temperature, and does not affect the camera.) Unlike the camera, the radar does not capture and store the distinguished image of the body, face. Other Identification Tools. "It looks like a fine motion sensor." Giusti says. Soli has an effective grid network, which has a detectable range of about 9 feet, which has less than about 9 feet of less than most cameras, but the multiple gadgets of the family with a solid sensor create an effective grid network that effectively unpacks the space and track the location of the area.
