Second beta version iOS In addition to iPad support, 7 also brings one major new feature. Developers have managed to discover several lines of code in the new operating system's code that will allow developers to access image detectors that recognize facial expressions. The new API will allow developers to detect expressions such as winks or smiles based on camera footage. Based on these "gestures", the application can perform various actions, such as displaying the next page when reading a book or taking a picture when everyone in front of the lens is smiling.

Of course, this technology is nothing revolutionary, and even the cheapest compact cameras currently offer smile detection or face recognition. However, it is interesting that Apple according to all indications, it should make these functions available directly to developers, and so in a few months it may happen that we will control the latest games just by moving our face and shoot by blinking, for example. Features that enable page movement or automatic screen shutdown when you are not looking at the phone started as one of the first to offer Samsung at the model Galaxy S IV, whose review you can read right here.

Developers will thus get a completely new opportunity to make applications even more interactive, and by connecting the function described above with a digital compass, accelerometer, gyroscope and touch screen, a device is created that simply responds to all your impulses and it doesn't matter if you enter them by sight, touch, voice or for example by moving the entire device. Again, it turns out that to create completely new possibilities already Apple does not require new hardware and changes to iOS The device is actually sufficient at an evolutionary level, as functions are much more important. Apple prepares users for a new era: we will pay for features, not hardware. Apple paradoxically, at least in this respect, it has become more open than Android. Users Samsung Galaxy With IV, they have the ability to control their phone by eye movement, but this function cannot be used directly by developers.
