Google has a habit of announcing exciting projects well ahead of being able to deliver them to customers. Examples such as Google Glass and Google Duplex come to mind, but there are plenty of others. One of them is called Project Soli. Announced all the way back at Google I/O 2015, Soli aims to allow users to control smart devices with gestures, just like Tom Cruise’s character does in Minority Report. But there’s no commercial version for Soli at this time, and that’s because Google isn’t done developing it. The FCC, however, just granted Google permission to operate the Soli radar sensors at higher powers than it’s currently allowed.
