ASUS had some fun yesterday by teasing a new facial tracking tech called Intelligent Gestures. The fake concept was humorously presented but seemingly real. It featured a gamer navigating menus with facial twitches, eye blinking, and other movements. At one point, the overwhelmed user goes cross-eyed while trying to make a selection.
Never Alt+Tab out of a game again, thanks to #ROGSmartLens intelligent gestures.

Assign any action to a series of blinks, winks, and twitches so you never have to take your hand off the mouse.
What would be your first shortcut? 🤔

Intelligent Gestures is part of ROG Smart Lens, a concept with contact lenses, cleaning device, and a tracking camera.
At #ROG, we’re always pushing the limits of what technology can do to make us better gamers.
