Google and Ford want to bring small radar to more devices
specs for a Ripple standard that could bring small radar to more devices in a"privacy-respecting" fashion. The framework, hosted by the Consumer Technology Association, theoretically lets any device maker use small-scale radar for tasks ranging from existing uses like touch-free gesture control and health monitoring through to exercise tracking and even occupancy detection in buildings., with a focus on interoperability between radar types.
The involvement of Google and Ford is logical. Both have already used radar in shipping products like the Nest Hub or Ford'sdriver assists. The more industry-wide support there is for radar, the more customers are likely to seek it out in the companies' products. Still, it might be genuinely useful if radar becomes more than a rare-but-inessential bonus feature.
“Ripple will unlock helpful innovation that benefits everyone. General purpose radar is a key emerging technology for solving critical use cases in a privacy-respecting way.” -
