Is the iPhone set to be toppled by an Eye Phone? Samsung Galaxy S IV rumoured to let you scroll screen just by LOOKING at it
Samsung's latest handset could mean the end of having to scroll through webpages - as the phone can 'watch' users to see where they are looking.The handset, to be unveiled in New York on 14th March, is also believed to have a five-inch screen and a 13 megapixel camera as Samsung bids to jump ahead of Apple's iPhone 5.
It is believed the 'eye tracking' system will allow users to automatically scroll through a news story, for example, as the handset knows when they have reached the bottom of the page.
'The phone will track a user’s eyes to determine where to scroll', a Samsung employee told theNew York Times.
In January Samsung filed for a trademark in Europe for the name 'Eye Scroll', which is believed to refer to the new feature.
It also filed for the 'Samsung Eye Scroll' trademark in the United States in February, describing the service as 'Computer application software having a feature of sensing eye movements and scrolling displays of mobile devices, namely, mobile phones, smartphones and tablet computers according to eye movements; digital cameras; mobile telephones; smartphones; tablet computers.'
The rumours come amid increasing speculation over the handset ahead of its unveiling on March 14th in New York.
It is believed the new handset could have a five-inch screen and boast a 13MP camera as Samsung tries to leap ahead of Apple in the smartphone wars.
The leaked images of the Galaxy IV from @evleaks also show that it will come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB versions with 2GB of RAM.
