Back in February, we saw an engineer using Honor's AI-powered eye-tracking feature on the Magic6 Pro to start and stop a car's engine and move it forward and backward. This tech was exclusive to China, but will start rolling out globally later this month.
Honor has announced that its eye tracking feature will begin its global rollout on August 27 and will be available via MagicOS 8.0 on all devices, including the Magic6 Pro. The technology allows users to interact with their phone using their eyes to open notifications and apps, among other things.
Additionally, Honor announced that it is exploring more possibilities for its multimodal AI technology and developing non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to make assistive technology accessible to everyone.
Honor's BCI technology allows people to communicate with external devices using electrical brain signals, which should be useful for people with disabilities or those who need additional assistance.
BBC Storyworks has produced a short film about a person diagnosed with ALS 14 years ago who now uses eye-tracking technology to communicate and create art. You can watch it below.
