If you have a Chromebook, here’s an interesting development for you: Google is now making it possible to control ChromeOS using just your face, The Verge reports.
Imagine being able to use head movements to move your mouse cursor around, then using facial expressions to click — or perform other frequent tasks, like toggling dictation so you can speak to write.
The feature, which was originally announced in December as Face Control, is aimed specifically at people with motor impairments who’d otherwise have trouble controlling a mouse cursor on screen. But it’s also meant for students and educators, who have so far benefited from the many other Chromebook accessibility features already available.
Face Control is currently rolling out to compatible Chromebooks. Google itself recommends a computer that has at least 8GB of RAM for it.
