The tech giant's ambitious project Soli is underway and will enable users to operate gadgets in the virtual world at the mere swipe of fingers, introducing them to a revolutionary experience.

Recently, Google's lab for advanced projects unveiled its latest offering, a technology that will make it possible for users to operate gadgets in the virtual world with the mere swiping of their fingers. While the idea has been aggressively shown in science fiction movies, this will be the first time when a major technology company like Google has attempted to put it into reality.

According to Business Insider, the ambitious project is currently being called Project Soli. As per the details that are available, the entire project is based on a radar that will be integrated with micro sensing abilities to detect even the slightest of finger movements.

The new technology was showcased on Friday by the Advanced Technology and Projects lab, the division that focuses on exploring the futuristic technologies for the company.

It also reportedly claims that Google authorities were successfully able to showcase a prototype of the technology. The impressive results included Google showing off how the new device was able to operate using precise fine motor skills such as pinching the thumb and index finger. In fact, even rubbing them together at different speeds, could be used to control all the gadgets. The successful implementation of this technology could actually eliminate the need of touching the gadget in order to operate it, reports said.

Another report on Wired claims that Ivan Poupyrev is the man working on the top secret project being developed by Google. It also points out that Poupyrev is working on several other ambitious wearable technology projects for the company.

In the demo session, Poupyrev actually showed the audience how he could kick a virtual football by simply flicking at the screen using the finger-based technology. Google also confirmed that it had taken ten months of hard work to successfully compress the size of the technology to fit into a finger sized chip.
