Even after the conclusion of Google I/O 2015, the advertising giant unveiled its next big step in the venture of wearables and smartwatches; Project Soli. According to Pocket-Lint, Project Soli is a miniature chip that can be incorporated in to any wearable or smartwatch and will accurately measure the wearer's hand movements in real-time. Project Soli will not be taking advantage of any small scale camera sensors. Instead, it will use a special form of radar tech that easily fits inside a small chip.

The founder of the project, Ivan Poupyrev, had demonstrated the capabilities of the chip on Friday. Project Soli is able to identify fine gestures, and in the future, these gestures will be used by individuals to carry out certain functions with electronic machines such as smartphones and desktop machines such as turning on the display without physically tapping the power button or display.

According to the tech website, Project Soli can not only be incorporated in to smartwatches and other wearables, but in the future, it will easily be able to integrate in to smart shirts and ordinary household appliances. In mobile devices for example, users can mimic a gesture of lowering or increasing the volume button of a particular handset or machine. Through the use of chips constructed under Project Soli, the operation will be carried out without actually touching the physical parts of the mobile product or machine.

Google has not specified a release date for when consumers will be able to witness the prowess of Project Soli on a larger scale. Currently, the popularity of wearables and smartwatches is not up to the same mark as smartphones and phablets. Overtime, when wearables and hand-strapped gadgets improve with better technology and features, Project Soli will be able to play its part in revolutionizing how consumers use these products.

For now, Google will be working on releasing its Android M platform, which is expected to be released later this year.
