But can it see through clothing?
interestingly - they are already integrating this into clothing. Specifically Levis jackets. Source - A close friend of mine is on the Soli team.

That sounds like you're thinking of Jacquard [0] not Soli which was a woven cloth interface. https://atap.google.com/jacquard/

Do facial recognition systems retrain themselves to compensate for change caused by growth or age?
Random side-fact: a co-worker who climbs a lot stopped using fingerprint sensors on his phones because his prints change frequently enough due to climbing, that it's basically useless.
Even when I got printed for the feds (for work reasons), they had to redo most of the fingers.

#34I can image that different persons would produce a different movement signature when moving into the range of the sensor.
It is definitely an interesting device but any additional sensory data at the hands of Google makes me tiny bit more nervous.

#35Wait, what? The ability to see through walls and not require line of sight leads to fewer privacy concerns?
Seems to me the privacy concerns are significantly greater for radar than facial recognition. Radar can see places that cameras can't, and while it doesn't capture color information, it does capture detailed 3D data that camera-based systems need to interpolate.
Plus, you know, the whole working through walls thing. Seems like there are at least as many opportunities for abuse as with facial recognition technology.

#36> And unlike with object recognition that uses cameras, there are no privacy concerns, or need to maintain line-of-sight or good lighting conditions. Radar works through different materials and in the dark as well as the light. Wait, what? The ability to see through walls and not require line of sight leads to fewer privacy concerns?

#38Inane gos, but I see a Monzo card at 1:35. That means this was very probably developed in the UK? I have to say the branding choice for the colour of that card was a pretty brilliant move.
Tangential, but I can’t find a definition for gos online, is that an abbreviation for something?

#40I can’t say I see the win with the from a HCI standpoint. I personally lust for more tactile feedback, not less!
