Hello everyone, this is Coolbuy (WeChat: coolbuy), the only media outlet that randomly critiques technology.
Google’s cutting-edge technology seems never-ending.
Following the recent buzz about their smart home lamp (click the link to view the article), Google has just released a stunning smartwatch.

It is no exaggeration to say that it will change people’s understanding of human-computer interaction.
It may even influence the future of all smart devices.
Yes, it’s not limited to just smartwatches.
The world of smartwatches is too small
If you’ve used a smartwatch, you probably have had to use eye drops often, right?
With a screen the size of a tofu block, you have to type, read news, and play games on it. Your fingers are constantly making precise movements on it; isn’t that exhausting?
Those who know understand that you are playing with a watch, while those who don’t might think you are doing micro-sculpting.
And you don’t even need a microscope; your eyesight must be incredible.
But with Google’s smartwatch, you can freely gesture in the air, and the watch will understand everything.
Just a flick of your finger, “Go, press that button for me.”
The little AI inside the watch will happily run to press it.
You don’t have to do everything yourself in that little corner. Just point, and it will do it naturally. Touching in mid-air makes it irresistible.
This kind of instant pointing pleasure could only be experienced by Duan Yu when he used the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
It can understand my gestures
As mentioned before, Google has always been committed to creating closer and more understandable communication between machines and humans.
Google Assistant can already understand your voice commands and respond accordingly.

But we also have body language. Before language existed, humans communicated through their bodies.
For those who cannot or are too lazy to speak, Google’s smartwatch can be set to recognize various gestures and perform corresponding actions.
▲ Infinite transitions
▲ Just press
▲ Adjust the frequency
▲ Pull and twist, adjust the time
Sometimes, silence is a form of romance; we communicate deeply with our bodies.
It can do even more amazing things
Why haven’t I mentioned the name of this watch until now?
Because the key feature of this watch lies in a radar chip called Soli.
Last year, Google’s Project Soli team released a promotional video for the chip, but there was no physical product.
It detects surrounding gestures through radio waves, as if it can see with its own eyes, capturing even the slightest movements and responding accordingly.

The team hopes it will become a new way of human-computer interaction, alongside voice.
Now, they have finally integrated it into a smartwatch.
If it can fit into a smartwatch, what else can’t it fit into? Perhaps in the near future, you will experience the following scenarios:
▲ How to answer a call like this, what can the traffic police say?
▲ This is the art of empty hands
▲ Easily grab a tablet
▲ Controlling the speaker is particularly satisfying
▲ Who says headphones can’t be used?
Finally, Project Soli has not announced any sales plans for the watch, but a new development kit will be released next year.
Perhaps we will have to wait a little longer. However, Coolbuy (WeChat: coolbuy) is already itching to step into the future.
