Control your smartphone with just your face? Google’s on it


Touch and voice commands for your Android phone will become totally obsolete if Google manages to execute what it has in mind for smartphone controls. — Unsplash

As far as gimmicks go, this surely is going to be an attention-grabber. You will not need your hands or fingers to make your smartphone do what you want it to. No, there will be no voice control either, something even better than that. All you will need is your face. That's it!

US tech giant Google is arguably one of the biggest competitors in the smartphone market courtesy of its Android software, and is looking to ensure that this dominance does not slip away. It has been reported that Google is working on a new accessibility feature that would let users control their smartphones using nothing but their facial expressions, reports ANI. This will be of help especially to those with disabilities.
