According to a new report the Samsung Galaxy S4 will track a user’s eyes to determine where to scroll. 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 Samsung Galaxy S4 will be launched in New York on the 14th of March and According to The New York Times a person who has used the phone described one feature as particularly new and exciting: Eye scrolling. The source did 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.
In actual fact , Samsung in January filed for a trademark in Europe for the name “Eye Scroll” (No. 011510674). It filed for the “Samsung Eye Scroll” trademark in the United States in February, where it described the service as “Computer application software having a feature of sensing eye movements and scrolling displays of mobile devices, namely, mobile phones, smartphones and tablet computers according to eye movements; digital cameras; mobile telephones; smartphones; tablet computers.”
Samsung has also filed for the trademark “Eye Pause,” without describing what the feature does.
