HONOR, a leading smartphone brand, is introducing intent-based eye-tracking technology through its MagicOS 8.0 operating system, allowing users to interact with their devices using just their eyes to open notifications and apps, a move supported by international ALS foundations.
HONOR AI Eye Tracking
The brand is developing non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, enabling communication with external devices using brain electrical signals. This technology, inspired by Wei Zhang, a Chinese ALS challenger, aims to create new AI interactions between smartphones and other devices, benefiting disabled individuals.
ALS is a progressive nerve cell disease causing muscle failure, with permanent loss of function. Patients often lose eye movement control, but find renewed purpose in their life-changing condition.
HONOR the Challenger: Promoting Global Awareness Through Social Engagement
BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions has released a short film highlighting artists and ALS challenger Bernard Muller, who uses eye-tracking technology to express himself through artwork, highlighting the power of AI in disability care.
Social media users are invited to contribute to raising awareness about ALS, by participating in the #HONORtheChallenger social media challenge. View the challenge on TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook.
