What it is
Face control is a ChromeOS accessibility feature that lets a person control the mouse cursor and trigger actions — click, scroll, type, take a screenshot, and more — using head movement and facial gestures captured by the built-in or an attached webcam. An on-device machine learning model, downloaded once during setup, detects head position and a configurable set of facial expressions and maps them to actions. By default, the cursor follows head position and a smile performs a left-click; up to 23 distinct facial gestures can be assigned to different actions.
