The companies created this Instagram experience to demonstrate the power and potential of the technology to help people with limited accessibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How It Works:<\/strong> By making simple facial movements, users can interact with an AR interface to choose from a limited set of message options. Moving one\u2019s face up and down helps navigate between options, while blinking serves as a trigger, like pushing a button to select an option. The user can then save and\/or share their message on Instagram. There are currently 12 message options available.<br \/>\nThe Facial Messaging effect created by Intel and Vega Studio was inspired by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies developed in Intel\u2019s Human and AI Research Systems Lab, including the open source Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit (ACAT). ACAT was developed at Intel Labs to enable people with motor neuron diseases and other disabilities to have full access to the capabilities and applications of their computers through very constrained interfaces suitable for their conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It\u2019s Important<\/strong>: To help people with limited movement interact with the world, new technologies are essential to improving accessibility. Intel\u2019s ACAT program uses cameras and AI to help those with motor neuron conditions communicate and participate in other activities. Originally built for Stephen Hawking, the benefits of the system are finding new, wide-ranging uses every day with users of all abilities.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Above, image credited to Intel<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A system created to help Stephen Hawking communicate inspires a new AR effect on Instagram Working with Meta and Vega Studio, Intel launched Facial Messaging, an Instagram augmented reality (AR) effect that allows the social networking service\u2019s users to compose a message video using simple facial movements, and then share the video on Instagram on &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/?p=7704\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \u00abCommunicating on Instagram without typing\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[50],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7704"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7704"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7706,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7704\/revisions\/7706"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
