Face Control on Chromebooks

Using face gestures to control the mouse cursor on Chromebooks

Google has recently introduced Face Control on Chromebooks, an AI-powered accessibility feature enabling people to control their mouse cursor and perform actions using facial movements and gestures. The feature uses a series of machine learning models to generate a 3D mesh of 478 specific facial points, enabling precise, real-time gesture detection for hands-free control. This innovative technology, best experienced on Chromebooks with 8GB of RAM, will ensure people with motor impairments can interact with their Chromebooks without relying solely on traditional input methods like keyboards and mice. Face control will join more than 20 other helpful accessibility features that are already built into Chromebooks like Automatic Clicks, ChromeVox and Dictation .
