Soli is a gesture sensing technology developed by Google that uses millimeter-wave radar to detect fine hand motions and gestures without the need for physical contact or devices. It allows for touchless interaction with electronics and has applications in areas like smart devices, VR/AR, IoT, gaming, and medicine. Soli works by emitting and receiving radio waves that are scattered by the hand, with the time and signal changes used to track hand position and motion. It has advantages like replacing buttons, wireless operation, and precision, though it also has limitations such as a small range and potential security issues.
