The devices Google Pixel not just the best when it comes to photographic performances. Thanks to the continuous and lasting support of the colossus of Mountain View, these devices always promise new and innovative features. What we are going to see today is relative to cameras, but not in the way we are used to thinking of them. Did we think they were only capable of taking great photos? We have to change our minds. An update of Google Fit in fact, it brings two curious how innovative functions.
Google Pixel transform into smartphones with the ability to detect heart rate and respiratory rate: a function also coming to other devices
In accordance to revealed today by the company itself, the devices Google Pixel they are preparing to receive a very interesting update. Some can already take advantage of these functions: it is the detection of heart rate and respiratory rate. We have previously seen smartphones that can measure fever with the camera and now this too. Of course, it is a function that, albeit poco request, comes back really super useful. However, what glitters is not gold.
The data that Pixel smartphones provide they are not as reliable as those of a professional tool. We can also say that they are not as reliable as those of a smartband, a product created precisely for these functions. However, the detection features in question are truly a godsend in a time like this.
To ensure that the device can work in this sense, the camera. This time, however, instead of measuring the temperature or taking pictures, it detects small ones changes in the color of the fingers to determine your heart rate. We thus discover that a smartphone's camera is accurate enough to measure these very small differences. Respiratory rate monitoring works aligning the face and upper body in certain positions, in a way that allows the camera to follow the movement of the chest down to the pixel level to determine how fast we breathe.
Google says this feature will be rolled out to other devices as well, but we don't know which ones.
