A co-development project between Harman and the Soli team at Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP), led by Dr. Ivan Poupyrev.

We integrated the Soli sensing technology in a connected home speaker to enable people to control audio without touching a single button, knob or screen. This collaboration with Google ATAP not only resulted in integrating the high-performance radar-based gesture sensor into a JBL speaker but in designing a novel light-feedback based HMI to communicate with the user.

This demonstrator was showcased and demonstrated live on stage at Google I/O conference in 2016.
