Samsung’s New Smartphone Will Track Eyes to Scroll Pages

Source - Samsung’s New Smartphone Will Track Eyes to Scroll Pages

Quote:

Samsung’s next big smartphone, to be introduced next month, will have a strong focus on software. A person who has tried the phone, called the Galaxy S IV, described one feature as particularly new and exciting: Eye scrolling.

The phone will track a user’s eyes to determine where to scroll, said a Samsung employee who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media. For example, when users read articles and their eyes reach the bottom of the page, the software will automatically scroll down to reveal the next paragraphs of text.

The source would not explain what technology was being used to track eye movements, nor did he say whether the feature would be demonstrated at the Galaxy S IV press conference, which will be held in New York on March 14. The Samsung employee said that over all, the software features of the new phone outweighed the importance of the hardware.

The only question I have is...
What happens if you have a lazy eye?

Because I'm not an idiot.

Excuse me while I laugh hysterically imagining "pinch to zoom" with cross-eyes.

Not a reliable UI control method at all. Someone knocked, you sight wanders quickly, then you find yourself checking another webpage or scrolling. This is also a slippery road to a future of constant monitoring (a battery drain too).
I guess these gimmicks are only meant for promotional use, not practical.

IMAGINE THE ADS IF IT MADE COFFEE !

Speaking of ads.
Imagine if this tech was used against the consumer.
You may be forced to look directly at the ad before you can skip it.
