Contractors say they were told to lie while collecting Pixel 4 face scans

[ad_1] This summer, we learned that Google had embarked on a wide scale project to collect facial recognition data, which the company said was necessary to build “fairness” into face unlocking for its Pixel 4, which will be officially unveiled on October 15th. A new report from the New York Daily News has more details […]

Leaked Google videos show the Pixel 4’s ‘Motion Sense’ gestures in action

[ad_1] In the first set of videos, we see how the Pixel 4’s touchless gestures will work. To silence calls and alarms, you simply wave your hand sideways above the phone. Skipping songs is done the same way. The one quirk to the system is that you can silence or snooze an alarm by changing […]

Deluge of Pixel 4 photos confirms a few of the phone’s key specs

[ad_1] Curiously, the camera app will apparently default to capturing 16:9 photos to fill the screen, rather than 4:3 photos to make the most of the sensor.

It’s no secret that the Pixel 4 line will have dual rear cameras (a 12MP standard shooter and a 16MP telephoto, according to this leak), but the sources also talk of work on a “DSLR-like attachment” for the phones. It’s not certain if this is […]

Google paid passers-by for face scans to improve the Pixel 4

[ad_1] The scans were obtained after people filled out consent forms, and included color, depth and infrared data as well as related info like the way a person grabbed a phone from a table. The Soli radar in the Pixel needs the motion data to tell it when to activate face unlock. Google also acknowledged […]

Google Pixel 4 leak fuels rumors of hand gesture control

[ad_1] The other holes are effectively spoken for. You could expect dual selfie cameras on both Pixel models, a central speaker and what’s believed to be a face recognition or depth sensor. Outside of Google’s teaser, you’re unlikely to hear official news about the Pixel 4 and its sensor layout until early fall. Should this […]
