Rainbrow Is a New iPhone X Game You Control With Your Eyebrows

[fitshaced]

Does this come with a warning: Do not play around schools

Ergonomics "evolution".

Agreed, albeit a nice example of using the iphone x capabilities, consider what these static neck/shoulder/upper extremity positions in combination with the repetitive facial "tics might result in after repeated playing... OMG, better load up on exercise apps to counteract, lol :-D

 

[supertomtom]

Definitely not suitable for those who use botox

 

[Porco]

I think it looks utterly ridiculous but good luck to anyone who has fun with it.

 

[testcard]

I must have an expressive face as it works really well for me, and it’s harmless fun. Kids will love it.

Emilia Clarke will smoke everyone on this game

Stephen Colbert would like a word.

The Twelfth Doctor would like a word with both.

This could be used for .....
eyebrows - scrolling
blink left eye - go back page
blink right eye - go forward
long blink both eyes - close tab
big smile - bookmark page

and also instead of the swipe up to unlock phone

"i had perfectly normal eyebrows until this game came out. It gave me wrinkles and caused my eyesight to be strained from using the wrong muscles".

 

[roeiz]

the stupid games and Animojies (which i haven't even touched) are only a symbol for the next step with facial gestures that could change the whole IOS and many other aspects. i'm not an Apple boy but i still think it's nice.

 

[alphaod]

Pretty cool. Seems it can’t track my eyebrows accurately though. In my natural position it think I’ve raise my eyebrows. I have basically squint for it register a down.

This may train people to have facial ticks

Just because something can be done, does it mean it should be ?

I think it's a good proof of concept but a terrible idea.

What comes next ? Flappy bird controlled by your tongue ?

Vulcans will of course have an advantage, as they often do.

Edit: I can spell “fascinating”. I didn’t make that meme.

People need to lighten up - it’s just a silly game! Where’s your Christmas spirit?

 

[convergent]

This game... seriously?

If it requires a face map, I wonder if using the game for too long will hurt parts of the face, like how the Iris scanner found in the Galaxy S8 hurts the eyes when using it too many times.

On another note, could things like these be used to create Health apps designed to make you work and rehabilitate certain muscles, say lips from a semi-paralysed person?!

So where exactly did you see that the Galaxy iris scanner hurts the eyes? I use it all the time and never heard of such a thing.

 

[lkrupp]

Imagine all the looks you will get from people. This game will be pricelsss in public!

So how long until Samsung puts out a commercial making fun of iPhone X owners playing this game?

Ergonomics "evolution".

Carpel tunnel syndrome of the eyebrow.

Nice reference.

Classic.

It will take lots of spirits for this game to look good .

This may train people to have facial ticks

This sort of root technology (recognizing small facial gestures) might have practical applications. Consider its possible use for individuals with extreme disabilities (paraplegic). A user could make a small gesture that could signal technology to perform some task that the user can not do.

 

[dwaltwhit]

Looks like he is having a seizure. Just what we need on a crowded train/sidewalk/restaurant -- people making silly faces while not paying attention.

We already have snapchat soooo

She can smoke anyone she wants at anything.

 

[LXC101]

The forehead wrinkles coming his way tho...

 

[routine_analyst]

Great way to cause the skin on your forehead to develop fine lines. Keep up this innovation!

 

[dwaltwhit]

I think people are missing the point here. This seems more like a proof of concept than a blockbuster game.
