Google's new technology uses your phone's front-facing camera to tell you if someone is looking over your shoulders
>Google researchers Hee Jung Ryu and Florian Schroff are gearing up to present a novel little project that takes advantage of your phone’s front camera and AI to spot people around you who are peeping at your screen, and shame them with a sticker.
>As you can see in the clip above, when a person other than you is detected to be looking at your phone, the screen’s contents are quickly hidden, and replaced with a view of what the front camera sees.
>The peeping tom is then highlighted with a vomit rainbow, similar to the one you’ve seen before on Snapchat.
>That might come in handy for people who frequently use their phone in crowded places, such as on subway trains.
>The researchers claim that their screen protection tech works in a variety of lighting conditions and can spot a person gazing at your phone in 2 milliseconds, thanks to its AI working locally.
>The duo will present their work at the Neural Information Processing Systems conference in Long Beach, California. Google hasn’t said anything about plans to bring this functionality to Android.
>If you can’t wait until you hear more, you might want to give BlackBerry’s less-powerful solution for Android a try.
