Google Project Soli is developing a new interaction sensor using radar technology.
The sensor can track sub-millimeter motions at high speed and accuracy. It fits onto a chip, can be
produced at scale and built into small devices and everyday objects.
The cubes change color from
green to orange to finally red as
you keep drinking beyond the
safety limit. If things get out of

The Ambient Orb is a frosted-glass ball that glows different
colors to display real time stock market trends, traffic congestion,
pollen forecasts, or any other Ambient information channel: weather,
windspeed, pollen, and more.
When rain, drizzle, snow or thunderstorms
are forecasted, the handle glows to
indicate the necessity of an umbrella.
The light pattern changes depending on the
severity of the forecasted conditions.
