Camera Switches

Turns facial gestures caught by the front camera into switch inputs for Android's Switch Access

Software Built into the operating system

What it is

Camera Switches is a configuration of Android's Switch Access accessibility service that uses a phone's front-facing camera to detect facial gestures — such as looking left, looking right, smiling, opening the mouth, or raising eyebrows — as switch inputs, in place of an external hardware switch. Combined with Switch Access's on-screen linear or group scanning, a person can navigate and select items on an Android phone using only face movements, with no external hardware or touch input required, on devices running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or later.
