The Honor Magic6 Pro phone introduces a unique feature known as AI-based eye-tracking, enabled by software called GazeSense and powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. This innovative technology allows the phone to track the user’s eye movements, enabling various functionalities such as zooming in on maps simply by looking at them.
In an intriguing demonstration by James Brighton, a skilled designer in automotive engineering, the potential of the Honor Magic6 Pro’s eye-tracking feature extends to controlling a car. Through the phone’s screen, users can initiate or halt the engine and maneuver the vehicle forwards or backwards by directing their gaze appropriately. This application could prove invaluable in situations such as navigating tight parking spaces.
Presently, the eye-tracking feature is exclusive to China, and the car control demonstration remains experimental. Nonetheless, it serves as a compelling example of how AI can foster seamless integration between mobile devices and automobiles. There is immense potential for AI-driven advancements, which Honor intends to explore further at the upcoming MWC event. During this event, discussions involving guests from Qualcomm and GSMA will delve deeper into the possibilities offered by AI in enhancing the synergy between phones and cars.
