When I told a friend about eye-tracking software on the Galaxy SIII and SIV, he said, "We're so lazy."
While eye-tracking software, like Smart Stay, which keeps the screen lit even after the screen timeout as long as I'm looking at the device, can be handy, for most installations it's extremely excessive. For example, just take a look at Umoove's technology here.
It doesn't even matter that you don't have to touch the phone, because you'd still have to technically hold it. And it's easy enough to hold and scroll with the same hand so you can hold your Starbucks latte paid with by your tele.
Maybe I'm just writing off this technology without thinking but I don't see any reason why this would make my life easier really. Help me out!?
Reminds me of a quote by the man, Dr. Albert Einstein: "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots."
This is something I think about on the regular. I'd like to ask engineers, scientists and nerds to start working on technology that actually means something, please. This kind of laziness, paired with the newly launched Google Glass is just the start of augmented reality. As George Orwell and Phillip K. Dick are celebrated as predictors of the future,give it 100 years and people will observe the world Andrew Stanton. Not familiar? That's because it's the director of kid's animation film, WALL-E. Soon that movie will be touted as the depressing realistic image of where we're headed.
EEEEEEEEEEEEVA!
