In ChromeOS you can now control the cursor using facial expressions

Google has introduced a number of new ChromeOS features designed to benefit students and make the platform more accessible. One of them allows you to control your computer using facial expressions.

This AI-powered feature, designed for people with movement disorders, was announced in early December last year. But now a wider range of users will be able to use it. Compatible Chromebooks with 8GB or more of RAM are eligible to use the new feature.

Previously, the company introduced an open-source AI-powered tool called Project Gameface for controlling a gaming mouse using facial expressions.

More than 20 new Chromebook models are expected to launch this year across the standard Chromebook and Chromebook Plus lines. In particular, last week the 14-inch Lenovo Chromebook Plus “2-in-1” Chromebook based on Intel Core 5 and Core 7 processors, equipped with a 14-inch IPS touch screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1200, up to 16 GB of RAM, was presented LPDDR5X memory and 512 GB flash drive.

Along with laptops for teachers and students, Google has a new set of ChromeOS features aimed at classroom learning called Class Tools. With their help, teachers will be able to monitor student laptop screens in real time, display content on the screens of their devices, enable subtitles or translations for them in real time, remotely view completed assignments displayed on their screens, and share student work with the entire class.

In addition to its collaboration tools, Google Classroom also integrates with Figma’s FigJam interactive whiteboard, allowing teachers to brainstorm and collaborate with their entire class.
