Every day, people use voice commands, like “Hey Google,” or their hands to navigate their phones. However, that’s not always possible for people with severe motor and speech disabilities.
To make Android more accessible for everyone, we’re introducing two new tools that make it easier to control your phone and communicate using facial gestures: Camera Switches and Project Activate. Built with feedback from people who use alternative communication technology, both of these tools use your phone’s front-facing camera and machine learning technology to detect your face and eye gestures. We’ve also expanded our existing accessibility tool, Lookout, so people who are blind or low-vision can get more things done quickly and easily.
