Radar Love!
I would buy a Google Pixel if I could tickle it.
I would call it my Google Tixel.

Tickle My Pixel radar visualisation.

If only the Pixel used Soli.

Soli is from Google ATAP (Advanced Technology And Products). It uses radar to detect touchless gestures for device operation.

Soli has no moving parts, it fits onto a chip and consumes little energy. It is not affected by light conditions and it works through most materials.

Some gestures that could be used:

Shouldn't the Pixel have shipped tickleable?

Tickling could blow away the almost-the-same smart phones.

The Google Tixel is what I want.

Animated gif of a hand demonstrating a ‘scroll’ gesture. The radar-based sensor was developed to detect micro and subtle motion of fingers.

A device can be manipulated by rubbing a thumb and forefinger together in defined patterns.
