Google has developed an open-source AI tool called "Project Gameface,";which allows users to control a PC using their facial and head movements.
;The technology relies on a webcam and machine learning to detect 468 points on a person's face and mimic cursor movements based on that feedback, making gaming more accessible to people with disabilities.
- Google developed the tool in partnership with;Lance Carr, a PC gamer from Colorado who has a rare form of muscular dystrophy.
- The company and Carr worked together to create the Windows-only software for users to control their computer through head movement and gestures using a webcam.
- Using the tool's interface, players can assign various actions and shortcuts to each facial expression, like assigning right-click when they raise an eyebrow.
- While still in development, the tool is available in a preview build;through GitHub.
