How about controlling your devices with eyes, specially your smartphone. Relaxing in your bed or couch, too lazy to pick up your mobile and You look down at your Samsung phone and face recognition unlocks the phone.
Play a song with the blink of your eyes.Blink twice to open details of song and artist.Left and right moment of eyes lets you scroll through albums. Another eye moment lets your control music.
May be , I am talking of a fairy tale or 21st Century Technology. No, This is no more a Dream.
"A method of controlling an operation of a display device using eye movements and a device for performing the method are provided. The method includes receiving eye movement information of a user; receiving blinking information of the user; generating a control command corresponding to the eye movement information and the blinking information; and controlling an operation of the display device based on the generated control command".
A Team of international researchers, including an Indian-origin graduate student, is developing software that could let you control your smartphone through eye movements to play games, open apps and do other stuff.
The team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Georgia and Germany's Max Planck Institute for Informatics has so far been able to train software to identify where a person is looking with an accuracy of about a centimetre on a mobile phone and 1.7 centimetres on a tablet, MIT Technology Review reported.
According to study co-author Aditya Khosla from MIT, the system's accuracy will improve with more data.
To achieve this, the researchers created an app called GazeCapture that gathered data about how people look at their phones in different environments outside the confines of a lab.
