Samsung unveiled an AI-powered invisible keyboard for smartphone
As you know already consumer electronics show is going on right
now, various companies are showcasing various types of tech that will surely leave you
awestruck.
One of them was from Samsung and it was the invisible keyboard.Yes, Samsung showcased something truly interesting called
Selfietype which is an invisible keyboard that works with just any camera-enabled device and a large enough
surface.
Kinda like Tony Stark's keyboard but less flashy 😂.
The system utilizes front-facing camera sensors in smartphones to track the position of users’ fingers.
It requires no additional hardware, just the selfie camera, it
analyzes the finger movements coming from the front camera and converts them into keyboard
inputs which looks pretty cool, to be honest, but in its current form, I don't see it being
useful.
First of all, the user has absolutely no idea what he's typing as
the phone doesn't project any kind of virtual keyboard in front of the phone. I mean how are we going to know what keys are we typing...Sure, a
professional would have no problems with it but it may not work well for an average
consumer.
In any case, I don't have big hopes from this because virtual
keyboards existed before in the form of laser keyboards and they didn't actually catch off, so
I have literally zero expectations from this but anyway, cool tech nonetheless.
Meet Samsung rolling robot that understands you
Here's another interesting piece of tech that Samsung unveiled at
CES, it's Samsung’s new personal robot called Ballie. It's a spherical robot, designed to help people around the house
using on-device Artificial Intelligence.
Although the full extent of its capabilities isn't known at this
point but this robot is meant for doing basic tasks around the house, such as running
around the house opening curtains, turning on the washing machine and television, sending a feed of
your dog to your phone when
you're not home and turning on the vacuum when the dog spills
something and much more.
There's a camera upfront through which it navigates, and uses AI
to learn and do things. Ballie appears to be a prototype concept at this point but I'm
sure it will eventually be offered as a consumer product. I personally would love to have something that will follow me
around in the home and
help out with tasks kinda like a personal assistant. Right now it’s unclear when this robot will be launched and how
much it’s going to cost
but I'll make sure to keep an eye on this so and will keep you
posted when I hear more .
ballie lookks cool
