At the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai, Honor released AI eye protection to enhance people’s vision health by introducing a feature that mimics defocused glasses on smart devices, a move that has aimed to further raise awareness of the rising incidence of myopia due to screen time.
Eye Protection AI tool
First, there’s the “AI Defocus Eye Protection that “simulates defocus glasses”. Defocus glasses are prescription contact lenses used for myopic correction. How Honor intends to do this with software remains unclear. The company asserts that it helps to decrease transient myopia in readers by 13 degrees and in some cases, by 75 degrees.
Deepfake Detection
Following this is a new feature that utilizes the latest technological advancements in AI to detect fakes deep fake content. In an interview with HONOR, it said that its deepfake detection AI will evaluate features such as eye contact, image sharpness, and lighting to establish if the images are fake or not. The feature is not restricted to images as it can scan through videos in real time to avoid any scam or impersonation.
Besides, with the help of the large video and image database of online scams, AI Deepfake Detection can identify, screen, and compare within 3 seconds. If synthetic or altered content is identified by the feature, a risk warning is provided to the user to prevent them from interacting with the potential scammers anymore for their security.
Major advantages of Honor’s AI tools
- It runs on-device AI: In contrast to many solutions that are dependent on cloud computing, system response times will be faster, and privacy enhanced.
- Consumer Trends in Health and Safety: Other consumer trends for which the brand is seeking to position its launch and subsequent marketing include health and safety. Regarding this, AI Defocus Eye Protection is an attempt to address health issues, while Deepfake Detection may offer a security solution.
- Moreover, by emulating defocus glasses with the help of AI technology, the company captivates customers who want to apply innovations in their lives.
- Deep Research: The company strives hard to justify that it has the solution by quoting reduced Transient Myopia by an average of 13° among those who use Honor’s AI Defocus Eye Protection tech after reading for 25 minutes.
Currently, HONOR has not provided the hardware requirements for the aforementioned features, but we shall engage them for a response and we shall also update you. Privacy and security are still priorities for the audience. On the positive side, the deepfake detector which employs the use of AI will operate on the device.
