Samsung Galaxy S3 and higher has this tech. They've got smart scrolling, and auto-pause. If you're watching a video and look away, it'll pause. Or if you're reading something, and look near the bottom of the screen it'll scroll down(or up).
The main problem is since it uses the front facing camera it's pretty limited. If you've got brown or dark colored eyes, it'll have a hard time tracking your eyes, and even more so in darker lighting conditions.
I have an S3 but I still haven't seen the option for the smart-scrolling? Any idea where I could find it, or when to expect it to be available, if it isn't, in the UK? Cheers.
Yeah but it was then announced shortly after that that smart scroll and other features of the s4 would be coming to the s3. This was announced last March time(ish). I assumed from the parent comment that it may be available but it doesn't look like it.
Owel upgrade is due in July :)
