They aren’t necessarily silly, but these options were definitely quirky, especially LG Wing.

    this too doesn’t sound that silly

    We also had a year when Google decided that short-range radar was the future of interacting with your phone, so it crammed a Soli sensor into the top bezel of the Pixel 4 series. It was the culmination of five years of work and was designed to let you skip songs, silence phone calls, and snooze your alarms with nothing more than a lazy wave.

    i tried this app for a while ☞ https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jarsilio.android.waveup but it didn’t work as well :/

      If it had worked, it would have been cool. Sadly, it often failed to register movements.

      I still have this built into the google nest I have. It was neat when my 1 year old toddler could pause music by thrusting a hand toward it, but it would often activate when just walking by so it’s disabled now.
