You'll soon be able to control Chromebooks with just your face


Face gesture control is coming to all Chromebooks soon.

The new tool allows users to move the mouse cursor by tilting their heads, click by scrunching their lips, and even play games by smiling or shrugging their eyebrows. The new accessibility feature is built with Google MediaPipe and was "inspired by the story of quadriplegic video game streamer Lance Carr," making it possible to control the entire operating system without the need for traditional input tools or expensive head-tracking mice.
