Generative AI has become a prominent topic of discussion, with continuous advancements emerging on a daily basis. Today, we witness new breakthroughs in this field regularly. Now, Honor is elevating this technology to a new level with its innovative Magic 6.

Honor CEO George Zhao at Qualcomm’s 2023 Snapdragon Summit announced that its Magic 6 smartphone will feature eye-tracking technology, which will allow users to open apps and perform other actions using only their eyes. The company calls this technology “Magic Capsule,” and it is described as an “eye-tracking based multimodal interaction” feature.

The use of eye-tracking technology in smartphones is not entirely new. In 2018, Samsung released the Galaxy S9 with an eye-tracking feature called Iris Scanner, which allowed users to unlock their phone and authenticate payments with their eyes.

Honor is the first company to announce a smartphone with eye-tracking technology that is specifically designed for interacting with apps and features. If Magic Capsule is successful, it could change the way we interact with our smartphones. Magic 6 smartphone will also have a virtual assistant powered by Qualcomm’s on-device AI. It can help you find and edit videos on your device by selecting specific criteria.
