Time and again, Ubuntu keeps popping up whenever theres some Google product launch. Remember Googles Project Tango or that bit of news about the use of a lightly custmozied Ubuntu in Googles Driverless Car project? Given its widespread use inside Google, its no surprise than Google is an Ubuntu Advantage Customer.

Google I/O has always been a crucible of mesmerizing tech, and it is no different this time around as well. Take a look at Project Soli for example. They are developing a 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. Though it doesnt sound as cool as it should be, one look at the promotional video, and youre sold. Project Soli looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie.
