Google's New Tech Can Read Your Body Language—Without Cameras

What if your computer decided not to blare out a notification jingle because it noticed you weren't sitting at your desk? Google's Advanced Technology and Products division—better known as ATAP, the department behind oddball projects such as a touch-sensitive denim jacket—has spent the past year exploring how computers can use radar to understand our needs or intentions and then react to us appropriately. In 2015, Google unveiled Soli, a sensor that can use radar's electromagnetic waves to pick up precise gestures and movements. It was first seen in the Google Pixel 4's ability to detect simple hand gestures so the user could snooze alarms or pause music without having to physically touch the smartphone. Courtesy of Google Giusti says much of the research is based on proxemics, the study of how people use space around them to mediate social interactions.
