Get an early look at the technology behind two new features coming to Pixel 4 – Motion Sense and Face Unlock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
Well they’re not calling it “FaceID” are they, but it’s the same damn thing.<\/p>\n
The new Pixel 4, which Google can’t just stop talking about, will come equipped with a new sensor array, which enables unlocking and payment authorizations via face recognition.<\/p>\n
Similar to Apple the new system will identify a user’s face using a combination of depth, infrared & RGB sensors. Unlike the iPhone though the Pixel 4 will work whilst inverted or at almost “any” angle.<\/p>\n
In addition to the new “Face Unlock” system the sensors will also power the Pixel’s “Motion Sense” feature. Google make reference to a radar project called “Soli” they’ve demoed previously but not been able to miniaturise to this degree before.<\/p>\n
Similar to Leap Motion, Motion Sense will allow the user to skip songs, snooze alarms, and silence phone calls via a series of gestures without actually touching the phone.<\/p>\n
Google is set to release the Pixel 4 this coming October.<\/p>\n
