Today's Samsung Galaxy S4 rumors say the new flagship phone will include automatic eye-scrolling software that advances the text on a web page or document when the reader's eyes reach the bottom of the text on the screen.
"The phone will track a user's eyes to determine where to scroll, said a Samsung employee who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media. For example, when users read articles and their eyes reach the bottom of the page, the software will automatically scroll down to reveal the next paragraphs of text," writes the New York Times.
"The source would not explain what technology was being used to track eye movements, nor did he say whether the feature would be demonstrated at the Galaxy S IV press conference, which will be held in New York on March 14. The Samsung employee said that over all, the software features of the new phone outweighed the importance of the hardware."
In January, Samsung filed for a trademark in Europe called "Eye Scroll" (No. 011510674). In February, Samsung described a similar U.S. trademark as "Computer application software having a feature of sensing eye movements and scrolling displays of mobile devices, namely, mobile phones, smartphones and tablet computers according to eye movements; digital cameras; mobile telephones; smartphones; tablet computers."
This is likely an advancement of the eye monitoring tech in the Galaxy S III, which uses the front-facing camera to determine the orientation of a viewer's face or whether the user is still viewing the screen.
In addition, digital renders of what purports to be the Galaxy S IV have been circulating recently, but it appears those are just creative mock-ups from a mobile phone retailer, swiped by a Twitter account, branded with their own logo and released into the wild as the real deal.
So the images stamped @evleaks aren't fake -- they just aren't real.
As for what the Galaxy S IV will actually look like? We'll all probably need to wait until the Mar. 14 event. But if anything real leaks before then, we'll let you know.
