Here’s the latest accessibility feature drop for Android phones.
Today’s Google Pixel event showered us users with helpful AI features. The phones are coming with the Tensor G4 processor made with AI in mind, and Google’s own Gemini models, which are clearly being put to good use.
In this case we’ll take a look at four newly-announced features designed to assist people with disabilities, some of which will soon be available to not only Pixel phones, but Android phones in general.
Capture the best selfie despite poor vision or blindness
The first of these four new accessibility features is called Guided Frame, designed to help guide people with blindness or low vision towards taking the best selfie.
Guided Frame will use speech to guide the user, making sure they’re pointing the camera at themselves and framing the image in the best possible way. In addition, the feature will suggest whether the user needs to tilt their face up or down for a great shot, before auto-capturing it.
On top of that, the user will be informed if the lighting is poor, or if any other adjustments need to be made, in order to take the best selfie.
