Discussion

1) Google promises “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.”   What sorts of everyday devices do you use that could integrate this technology?

2) Why is Google, ostensibly a “search” company, working in the field of interaction sensor technology?
