Google wants to make “socially intelligent” device with Soli sensors in the future

Google wants to make “socially intelligent” device with Soli sensors in the future

If you recall, the Google Pixel 4 series had a gesture-control feature that helped control the phone. It was made feasible by the Soli Radar chip, which detects hand motions using radar. The Soli sensor was created by Google’s Advanced Technology & Projects group, also known as ATAP. The group has now shown more possible applications for the Soli sensor in future products.

Google ATAP Soli Project:

The group stated their goal “to create ambient, socially intelligent devices that are controlled by the wave of a hand or turn of the head”. For this, Google employed the same Soli sensor in the new research. However, rather than using it to control a device—like a smartphone—the ATAP group used the sensor to recognize our everyday activities.

In a documentary shared on YouTube, the researchers revealed how they used a mesh of Soli sensors placed within a device to monitor people’s movement. These “ambient, socially aware devices” utilize radars, machine learning, and deep learning to learn what human behaviors signify.

Google ATAP Head of Design, Leonardo Giusti says “We believe as technology becomes more present in our life, it’s fair to start asking technology itself to take a few more cues from us”.

He added, “We’re inspired by how people interact with one another. As humans, we understand each other intuitively, without saying a single word. We pick up on social cues, subtle gestures that we innately understand and react to”.

Working mechanism

As per Giusti, this research is based on proxemics—the study of how an individual uses space around him/her and the degree of separation they maintain between each other in social situations. The ATAP system investigated these and other social cues in order to create gadgets that understand and react to human activities.

Google’s own device like Nest Hub Max detects if a person is approaching; and boots up to highlight any reminders, calendar events, or other notifications. However, there can be times when you pass the device while gazing in an entirely opposite direction.

For such scenarios, the Soli-powered gadgets can recognize movements and gestures like body orientation, the pathway you might be taking, the direction your head is facing, and others. The collected data is then refined by machine learning algorithms to determine whether or not the person really wants to interact with the device.

Usage

The above video demonstrates to us what this new technology is capable of. For instance, the company showed a smart display installed on the wall that shows temperature with the weather forecast in the tiny font when no one is around. And, when someone approaches near it, the forecast fills the entire screen; informing you whether or not there is a probability of rain.

Google Soli device showing weather forecast

Another example shows how you may answer a call just by walking up to the device. Similarly, the soli-sensor-equipped device can automatically play/pause a video based on your proximity to or distance from the device.

Google ATAP Soli Project: Availability

We’re completely unknown about when this technology will be available commercially. After all, it’s still in the research phase. Google’s current Soli-powered products are Nest Hub Max and Pixel 4 and 4XL smartphones. The tech giant removed the sensor from its successors to keep the costs down. However, we hope that Google will reintroduce it in the near future with improved mechanics to ease our living.

Body

Mobvoi TicWatch GTH Pro Design and Display

The TicWatch GTH Pro features a 1.55-inch TFT screen with 360 x 320-pixel resolution. It comes wrapped around a metal chassis and has a 20mm watch strap. Similarly, the watch has 5 ATM of water resistance and comes in a sole Raven Black color. 

Health features

Mobvoi says that the TicWatch GTH Pro can monitor a person’s long-term artery health. This is possible—thanks to the company’s new “Arty Heart Health” analytics platform, which monitors central arterial waveforms. 

Mobvoi TicWatch GTH Pro Sensors

It basically means that the watch measures the strength of your pulse in order to collect data about the user’s heart health. However, the watch can not measure your blood pressure. 

Furthermore, the GTH Pro includes two optical heart rate sensors: one at the bottom that measures from the wrist and one on the side of the watch. The latter allows users to lay their fingers on the sensor to record daily readings—similar to how EKG smartwatches work.

Now, Get Your “Arty Score”

Based on these data, the watch calculates an “Arty Score” for the user, which shows their overall heart health. The GTH Pro calculates this score using four metrics—exercise capacity, predicted arterial age, heart stress, and heart rate. Exercise capacity refers to the blood flow to the heart, whereas Arterial Age denotes how “stiff” your arteries are. Meanwhile, the pulse pressure is used to determine cardiac stress.

Furthermore, the watch will make specific recommendations to the users depending on the data. This might include being more physically active or increasing the amount of Vitamin C in their diet.

Rest of the specs

Besides this, it can measure SpO2, body temperature, and even respiration rate. You can also use the TicWatch GTH Pro to track 14 different fitness activities, set alarms, and deliver push notifications. Similarly, it comes with a 260mAh battery that takes about 2 hours for a full charge.

Oppo demos 240W charging tech that fills up a phone in just 9 minutes

Oppo has announced its new fast-charging solution at the MWC 2022 event, called the 240W SuperVOOC Flash charge. With this, the brand now sits at the top of fast charging technology in the world. Here, we will be learning more about Oppo 240W SuperVOOC charging in detail.

Oppo 240W SuperVOOC Charging:

Xiaomi has previously showcased its 200W HyperCharge Technology that’s capable of charging a 4000mAh battery in under 8 minutes—placing it at the top of the fastest charging solutions.

Oppo, however, has now taken the crown with the announcement of the 240W SuperVOOC solution. The brand has shared a video in its social media handles that demonstrates this breakthrough technology. 

With this solution in hand, a 4,500mAh cell can be charged to 50% in about three and a half minutes, and the battery can be fully charged in only nine minutes.

Safety check

According to Oppo, “they took a holistic approach for the safety of the adapter, charging cable and the handset with which OPPO minimizes potential safety hazards and risks, providing an efficient and secure charging solution”.

To provide a safe charging solution, the company has included five safety protection measures and a specifically customized control chip to govern voltage, current, and temperature. In addition, 13 temperature sensors have been put in the test device to monitor overheating and other abnormalities.

150W SuperVOOC

Alongside the 240W, the company also announced 150W charging tech with BHE. BHE stands for Battery Health Engine which is powered by OPPO’s customized battery management chip. Likewise, it includes two key technologies—Smart Battery Health Algorithm and Battery Healing—that optimize hardware and software for improved battery health and safety. 

Per Oppo, the 150W SuperVOOC with BHE will maintain 80% battery capacity after 1,600 charging cycles. That’s twice as much as Xiaomi claims for its 11i Hypercharge smartphone.

Furthermore, the brand has utilized GaN (Gallium Nitride) to minimize the size of the adapter. In an image shared in the official blog post, the size of Oppo’s 150W and 65W chargers appear to be nearly identical.

When to expect them commercially?

As of now, there’s no word on when the new 240W SuperVOOC charging tech will make its commercial debut. However, Oppo has announced that the 150W SuperVOOC solution would be available on a OnePlus smartphone in the second quarter of 2022.
