One of the key features of Google’s upcoming Pixel 4 handset, which the company confirmed on Monday to get in front of the slew of leaks, is radar technology called Project Soli that will be able to track hand gestures in the air and then turn those gestures into executable commands. At the outset, the functionality will be limited, with the Soli-based controls only able to do things like snooze an alarm, silence a phone call or skip songs.
However, this potentially fun new way of interacting with your phone will either be a strange kind of afterthought that few people end up using and may even abandon altogether — or it could be the Next Big Thing, depending on who you ask.
