A Google project that will allow users to control their devices using their fingers in thin air is one step closer to reality after receiving approval from US authorities.
Called Project Soli, the system identifies subtle finger movements using radar built into tiny microchips.
Soli identifies subtle finger movements using radar built into tiny microchips.
Google says it allows users to press an invisible button between the thumb and index fingers or a virtual dial that turns by rubbing a thumb against the index finger.
Now Soli has received permission from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow the technology to work at higher power levels.

The FCC said the decision 'will serve the public interest by providing for innovative device control features using touchless hand gesture technology.'
A Google spokeswoman did not immediately comment on Tuesday, citing the New Year's Day holiday.
The FCC said the Soli sensor captures motion in a three-dimensional space using a radar beam to enable touchless control of functions or features that can benefit users with mobility or speech impairments.
Google says that 'even though these controls are virtual, the interactions feel physical and responsive' as feedback is generated by the haptic sensation of fingers touching.
Google says the sensor can be embedded in wearables, phones, computers and vehicles.
In March, Google asked the FCC to allow its short-range interactive motion sensing Soli radar to operate in the 57- to 64-GHz frequency band at power levels consistent with European Telecommunications Standards Institute standards.
Google has won approval to roll out its radar-based motion sensing device known as Project Soli. The FCC said the decision 'will serve the public interest by providing for innovative device control features using touchless hand gesture technology'
Facebook raised concerns with the FCC that the Soli sensors operating in the spectrum band at higher power levels might have issues coexisting with other technologies.
Google and Facebook jointly told the FCC in September that they agreed the sensors could operate at higher than currently allowed power levels without interference.
The proposed power levels was lower than previously proposed by Google.
Facebook told the FCC in September that it expected a 'variety of use cases to develop with respect to new radar devices, including Soli.'
The Soli devices can be operated aboard aircraft but must still comply with Federal Aviation Administration rules governing portable electronic devices.
And leading researcher Ivan Poupyrev told MailOnline back in 2015 his team's breakthrough will be a complete 'game changer.'
He said: 'Using a tiny, microchip-based radar to track hand movements we can now track the minutest movements and twitches of the human hand to interact with computers and wearable devices.
'The whole world is becoming a gadget that we interact with, with software everywhere, which raises the question how can we react with the entire world?'
Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.https://hienalouca.com/2019/01/02/googles-project-soli-one-step-closer-to-reality-after-us-approval/

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
