B
Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration（再校准）and relatively steady setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To reduce the shortcomings…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.
1、According to the passage, which of the following is true about GazeSpeak?
A．The GazeSpeak app can recognize eye movements directly.
B．It allows ALS suffers to commucicate with others without a phone
C．ALS suffers can use several ways to communicate.
D．Smartphone app helps ALS suffers speak with their eyes.
2、Why is the new smartphone app better than the older one?
A．It’s economical, robust and easy to use.
B．It’s expensive, not robust under sunlight.
C．It requires frequent re-calibration.
D．It combines a smart phone’s camera with artificial intelligence.
3、What’s the real purpose of the passage?
A．To sell a new smartphone.
B．To persuade consumers to buy a new smartphone app.
C．To introduce a new smartphone app.
D．To develop a new smartphone app.
