Among Google’s new VR venture with Gopro, smart-home platform, and Android M, it is no surprised that you would miss the news about Google I/O 2015. It was not showed in the keynote. However, on Tuesday, Google’s Advanced Projects and Technology team surprisingly introduced two impressive technologies that they prepare to catch more attention on Project Soli and Project Jacquard.

The first technology is a motion-detecting technology which promise”sub-millimeter” accuracy, and the other one is a touch-sensitive fabric. The Google engineers did not say much about the technology before, and they revealed the prototypes of both technologies at the first show of I/O, but neither of them has been used into product. The team promised the public will see more excellent applications tomorrow, it is going to give other publishers sock off.

Will touch-sensitive technology surprise the public? It is hard to say. The touch-sensitive technology is made to small touch panels, maybe two inches square were made to a roll of fabric draped across a table and it matches with on Game of Thrones. Even though it is not as sensitive as the touchpad on a modern laptop, the panels can explain the vulgar gestures, like switching a song by swiping or tapping to turn on lights. We can not have our pair of jeans to control our phone, let alone talking it out of t hem.

The Project Soli seems different from the Leap Motion controller we have known. Project Soli and device may give you different options when you play games. It is more accurate. It shows new meaning when you consider that Google’s promise on ATAP presentation: “it will break the tension between ever-shrinking screen sizes which is helpful to make electric wearable and enhance the interaction with techonology” How can we control a smartwatch without touching the screen, we can judge it by ourselves.

We have no idea what Google has in store, but we will figure it out later.
