Title: Control the UI through eyes!
Post by: bharatjusta on March 21, 2012, 11:19:31 am
Many combat aircrafts can detect the point where the pilot is looking and can fire at his command. This tech. is also used in many electric cars to know that where the driver is looking.
So, can we develop an app. that can use the front facing camera to detect that where are we looking on the screen and it clicks, scrools or rearranges the things on the screen with our voice commands!?

well i doubt as the cam is vga and it's accuracy is in question.

The quality of camera can be increased through mods, but still is VGA not enough?
So it will not be possible to put this tech on phones until they have a higher MP count and better quality...?

well as we know about face lock. :) but thing is accuracy and complexity of mechanisms of using the info of camera to keep track of position. Very typical

Track the position of iris in order to tell that where's a person looking!

Seems like an impossible job for a VGA camera, and that too without AF.
Maybe a hardware mod + an app. will do the job!

Maybe yeah but the coding would be difficult i say and tracking the position of iris is not a very easy job with the front cheap camera. Also to use that position is an altogether different. Great idea

fighter aircraft vs a phone is the thing to think about here a aircraft is hundreds times more powerful than a phone even if some genius managed it the power needed to process those kinda commands is massive no phone can do it .

This tech is used in modern cars too. And even my old pc webcam was able to detect the position of iris. But using that tracking info of the position of the iris to control the UI of the phone is the main problem here!

Generally a gaming desktop is more powerful than the computer in an aircraft.
But F35 and F18 are a different breed!

even so the power needed is too much and even the software my not support this
