Mahela Dimuth btw no headphone jack is not apple's idea, it was first introduced by Motorola in moto z line up. Check out. So apple isn't even trying to invent or create any thing they are just copying things or borrowing things.#RIPApple
Yep. Then again, unlike Google, Apple has always been very cloak and dagger with their r&d in development. They always have been more interested in building on [sometimes violently] acquired tech rather than developing from scratch.
No, not at all. It wouldn't be able to read a face, you would need a camera for that. (deaf and fluent in sign language, also an engineer) The difference between "I got it" and "I don't understand" is purely with different expression. The difference between "he is late" and "hasnt happened yet" is sticking your tongue out making the "th" sound. The face, shoulders, and depictive verb classifiers make up too much grammar, so much that the meaning gets lost if you cover the face. the grammar is different, so it also needs to be interpreted/translated. "finish touch never" means "never have been to before" or "past happen what finish touch touch 13th, total wow" translates to "I have been there thirteen times in my life!" etc. Google translate breaks the languages enough. also no signs for "be is am are" etc. signs don't translates to words the same. like "have you eaten cupcakes?" doesn't use the sign for "have" since it only means possession. it doesn't translate.
Bert Visscher SEE isn't used though, except to interpret between asl and English, so the only people that would use it already are hearing anyway. It's to relay English to a deaf interpreter to interpret again into asl. Deaf people don't use SEE, so it would be useless.
Part of the allure of robotic telesurgery is the force feedback element of the manipulators. How are you going to recreate this sensation solely with radar?
@@MikeTrieu great point. i have no idea what the current mechanisms are for dealing with this problem. you are right there is only visible feedback with something like this unless you could wear some kind of mechanised glove that responds to the robot arms sensors and then latency is of course an issue as well.
Pixel 4 is here and they decided not to put the full functionality from project soli to the pixel devices. Instead they choose a approach where dispite of having all the hardware available to use soli, they will make it seem like they are improving this tech on future pixel phones so that they can capitalize on soli’s functionality as longer as possible. A tech which was available since 2015 will fully penetrate the market by year 2025 or so, just because of the corporate greed. What a great world we live in!
You could try creating a sign language translator using a camera, but this technology removes the camera requirement and makes it more precise. It's really awesome.
Caudex yeah maybe in the near future it could convert hand signals into real hand motion in the virtual world ,therefore we wouldn't need the controllers for the HTC vive but instead our hands
¡Chulísimo! El reto más gordo que veo aquí es cómo dar feedback al usuario para que «sienta» lo que está haciendo. Quiero decir que si yo me pongo a hacer un gesto en el aire, necesito saber que estoy «tocando» lo que quiero tocar, y no otra cosa. No me gustaría ajustar algo que no es lo quiero, ya que tengo intentar volver a dejarlo como estaba y a continuación volver a probar con otro gesto o un poco más al lado a ver si acierto con lo que quiero hacer.
+J_laubster Well you wouldn't need them for some applications, but when you're playing a shooter and are supposed to be holding a gun, it wouldn't help with immersion. Sure you could use your fingers, but I think holding a controller with enough of a gun shape to it and some good haptic feedback would be miles better. The REALLY good usage of it would be to use both devices in tandem, best of both worlds.
Mind BLOWN! This is ingenious! And when I look at the date the video was published - it's over a year old! Why haven't I seen this in any real life product yet? The number of application areas for this technology must be huge!
Now this is something, the future is really exciting and scary at the same time. The good thing about this technology is that it might be really cheap, obviously not at launch but eventually since is made from literally free materials.
Can you imagine if we implemented this with doors? You literally wouldn't have to open a door with your hands, making it anti-bacteria... So much potential with this piece of technology
+Tervaification Anti-bactieria is useful in medical and other scientific applications, but an anti-bacterial world would be a bad thing. Good bye immune system!
Eduardo Alvarez exactly. I was thinking more along the lines of very discreet movements for variations of actions. I suppose people might not enjoy a game where you had to learn a lot of very careful and precise movements.
wow! I'm impressed. great ideas put to greater ideas in new and more exciting technologies. I've seen several novel products from Google but this one is special, the applications are phenomenal in the private sector but as well in the public sector, in Military applications, and in the Medical field. Bravo! Google, Bravo!
Not only would this be a game changer for office ergonomics around the world, BUT my mute friends could use this to speak through a computer via ASL irt! An incredible boost for quality of life!
The integration of Google Soli technology with Cloen Cordless Technology (CCT) unveils exciting possibilities for interacting with home appliances and devices. Envision controlling your CCT devices without physical touch, merely through precise air gestures. This synergy could revolutionize our cooking, cleaning, and entertainment methods, offering a more intuitive, efficient, and magical user experience. Applying Soli to CCT promises to enhance convenience and accessibility, further driving innovation in the design and functionality of smart home products.
Place this on every corner of your house and you'll have to get used to the shower turning off when someone makes a coffee. You can't have all these bouncing around on each other when hand movements are made or you're in for a bad time
Place this in every corner of your house, and you every movement will be tracked and logged for the rest of your days. This has the potential to chart the movement of your lips to "record" what you are saying as well. As with any tech, there is a dangerous side to it, and this one is quite frightening. Would I use it on other people, YES, would I use this in my home, Absolutely NOT!
Microwaving your nerves is commonly considered harmful... But that didn't prevent people from putting their heads in front of powerful radar transmitters and hearing their ping.
In English you usually say something polite like "Could you explain that, please?" when you need clarification. You can read more about the confusing part here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect
Eh, you can already approximate this with focused ultrasound. I believe Disney Research and others demoed this a few years back with ultrasounic phased arrays. What's cool is that ultrasound can be used for both ranging/sensing and limited haptics. It literally can cause air to push back against you (airbending?)
The most beneficial part would be creating user defined gestures, which can help people with special abilities to control and interact with the digital world. In abstract, letting the machine do something in a way created and defined by the user is something essential. That will create more instinctive and intuitive user experience. The more the machine becomes more personal and easily used the more it will be effective and joyful.
I view them all as being applicable to the modern world. There's always some futuristic aspect that makes what's happening more obvious and clear, but it's all the same. For instance in Be Right Back - people will keep the social media accounts of their deceased loved ones around, and look back to them just to read words that person wrote. So the robot is sort of an extrapolation of something we already do. I see each one as an allegory, like The Veldt or 1984.
"For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then, as the technology became more sophisticated, the controls were made touch sensitive-- One merely had to brush the panels with their fingers; Now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but that meant you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program.'
Awesome! I really hope that it's going to get implemented in Products in the next Year's. (after development) Or integrate it into a Google Smartphone...
Xander Yman one phone that uses technology like this. the only thing remotely similar is the leap motion and that is completely different technology and not on phones
This is so great I cant explain how excited it looks and represents itself in the video..great minded people doing wonderfull things with technology..great project...
@@saifunazar322 They even had a lab demonstrator you could purchase at I/O 2015. The hardware always worked. It's just the engineering needed to integrate it into a consumer-facing product wasn't ready until this year.
*Simply fascinating use of radar* My first thought is for people with parkinson's disease and could this technology still be a useful tool. I wonder if the research could discount certain movements for people with degenerative muscle or nerve damage and help them interact with computers down the road. h/t ***** and Yifat Cohen
+Ron Mecredy We all tremble - it's just a matter of how much. They've likely already built it to learn how much you shake and discount those unconscious movements. I'd think your suggestion is exactly how this will be presented (or at least a potential highlight) when it is launched.
