 ABSTRACT

Project Soli is a radar system that tracks your finger movements and allows you to interact with
wearable devices without a phone. This technology considers the design of a human gesture
recognition system based on pattern recognition of signatures from a portable smart radar sensor.
The movements of gestures from a human can be captured using a radar sensor, and by detection
of theses gestures, some special task on a device can be done. The project is under research by
Google ATAP, and it is termed as Project Soli. In this technology, a Radar sensor along with a
capturing system is made into a small chip and this chip can be connected to any device like
Computer, Smartphone etc. The different functions in these devices like Call, Volume control,
Zoom etc. can be done using specific gesture without having to touch or use another interaction
method.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Gratitude is a feeling which is more eloquent than words, more silent than silence. In
undertaking this seminar I need the direction, assistance and co-operation of various individuals
and organizations, which is received in abundance with the grace of God, without their

I express my sincere gratitude to our manager Rev.Fr.James Kozhimala and Principal

Rev.Dr.Roy Abraham P for permitting to do the seminar. Next I express my heartiest thanks to
Dr. Rajimol.A, HOD Department of Computer Applications, Marian College Kuttikkanam for her
valuable suggestions and guidance throughout the seminar.

With great enthusiasm, I express my acknowledgment to all the teachers in the Department of
Computer Applications for the support given throughout the seminar. I would also like to thank
non-teaching staff for their support. I express my thanks to all my friends who supported and help
me in many ways. Special thanks to all who left no stone unturned in the completion of this
seminar. Without the support of my family it is not possible for me to do anything. So I express
