Google has announced that the code for Project Gameface, its hands-free cursor management solution, where you control what happens on screen using facial expressions, is now available to Android developers. This will enable the project to move up a gear and soon see its first practical uses.

The idea is to help people with disabilities use their smartphones hands-free, simply through facial expressions. Google has developed a technology that enables users to manipulate the cursor on their smartphone, whether to open an application or write a message using the on-screen keyboard.
