Amazon has introduced “Eye Gaze on Alexa,” a new accessibility feature available on the Fire Max 11 Tablet.
This feature utilizes eye-tracking technology to assist users with mobility or speech disabilities.
“Eye Gaze” tracks a user’s eye movements in real-time and works in conjunction with “Tap to Alexa” to enable users to perform preset Alexa actions by looking at their tablet.
Amazon collaborated with speech-language pathologists to create this feature, which aids users in tasks like controlling smart home devices or communicating with caregivers.
“Eye Gaze on Alexa” will initially be available in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Japan.
Another Alexa feature, “Call Translation,” was also announced. It provides real-time translation and captioning for Alexa audio and video calls, potentially aiding non-native speakers and users with hearing impairments.
This feature will roll out to Echo Show devices and the Alexa mobile app in multiple countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy, supporting over ten languages.
