Intent-Based Eye-Tracking Technology by Honor

 Global Rollout of Intent-Based Eye-Tracking Technology by Honor soon

Back in February, we saw an engineer use Honor's AI-based eye-tracking feature on the Magic6 Pro to start and stop a car's engine and move it forward and backward. The tech was exclusive to China but will begin rolling out globally later this month. Honor's eye-tracking technology will be available on Honor Magic 6 Pro devices. Honor's eye-tracking feature lets users engage with their smartphones through eye movements. Following are the some of the important points:-

Honor unveiled the Honor Magic 6 series in China in January.

Honor Magic 6 Pro 5G is currently available at selected locations.

Honor is working on non-invasive brain-computer interface technologies.

Honor has announced that its eye-tracking feature will begin its global rollout on 27 August and will be available through MagicOS 8.0 on all devices, including the Magic6 Pro. This technology allows users to interact with their phones using their eyes to open notifications and apps, among other things. Additionally, Honor announced it's exploring more possibilities for its multimodal AI technology and is developing non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) tech to make assistive technology accessible to all. The Chinese tech brand introduced the feature for Honor Magic 6 Pro users in its home country at the beginning of the year. The advanced functionality lets users interact with their smartphones using their eyes. Users can perform various tasks through compatible apps just by gazing at the phone. Honor further confirmed that it is exploring more opportunities for its multimodal AI technology. Honor's BCI tech allows people to communicate with external devices using brain electrical signals, which should be helpful to people with disabilities or those who require additional assistance.

For example, a person uses an Honor Magic6 Pro's eye tracking feature to remotely control a car. Tracking eyes its not new, VR headset do that and its cool. Honor announced that its eye-tracking technology will start rolling out in global markets outside China soon. This intent-based eye-tracking technology will be available on Honor Magic 6 Pro devices through the MagicOS 8 operating system. Honor's innovative eye-tracking feature lets users engage with their smartphones through eye movements. Users can interact with their phone using their eyes to open notifications and apps.

Further, Honor has shared a three-minute-long YouTube video, highlighting how the technology has positively impacted Bernard Muller's life, who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) 14 years ago. The short film produced by BBC Storyworks shows the way he is using eye-tracking technology for communication and his artwork. Additionally, Honor confirmed that it is developing non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies. The company claims that this technology will allow people to communicate with external devices using brain electrical signals, creating more possibilities for people with disabilities. The Magic 6 Pro 5G was launched in the country at the beginning of this month. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. and boasts a 6.8-inch LTPO display. The handset features a triple rear camera setup comprising a 180-megapixel periscope sensor, a 50-megapixel front camera, and is backed by a 5,600mAh battery with support for both wired and wireless charging. It has an IP68-rated build for dust and water resistance.
