While Google unveiled Project Gameface at
their developer conference in 2023, it hasn't been released yet. This
hands-free system, designed for Android phones, allows users to control their
devices with simple head movements or facial expressions. You can use your
eyebrows, mouth, or eyes to navigate and interact with your phone, eliminating
the need to touch the screen.
This innovative system, designed for
Android, introduces a virtual pointer that you can control without touching
your phone. It uses Google's Facial Landmark Detection API to recognize your
gestures and movements through the phone's camera. So, when you make a facial
expression, the system tracks it and translates it into commands for your
phone. These commands are completely customizable, allowing you to personalize
the system to fit your individual needs.
Google decided to make the Project Gameface code publicly available, hoping that developers will incorporate it into their
apps and services. You can find the code for this hands-free system on both
Android and Windows operating systems.
