According to a new press release, Samsung has signed a multi-year licensing deal with DigitalOptics for its face tracking/detection software, which is apparently found onboard the Galaxy S4. Based out of California, DigitalOptics “designs and manufactures innovative imaging systems for smartphones”.
Called “FaceTools”, here is what the software suite has to offer:
With FaceTools, end users can automatically identify individuals, capture fast moving objects, use enhanced user interfaces via real-time tracking of pupils, and take flawless pictures even under sub-optimum light or color balance conditions.With a multi-year licensing deal, Samsung could bring the software to upcoming devices. As far as which devices, we’ll just have to wait and see. Samsung has really improved its software offering in the Galaxy S4, offering Smart Scroll and Smart Pause, which utilize eye tracking technology. Smart Scroll uses your eye movement to scroll up or down a page, while Smart Pause automatically pauses a video if you look away (image above). The features can be seen in the video below from our Galaxy S4 review.
Last month, Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported LG may take Samsung to court for patent infringement over its eye tracking patents. Once the Galaxy S4 is released, LG says it will take a closer look at possible patent infringement. Samsung completely denies any infringement, and claims to implement the technology in a different way.
In a recent update, the Optimus G Pro received Smart Video. Similar to Smart Pause on the Galaxy S4, it too automatically pauses a video when a user looks away.
