How to handle iPhone with head gestures

Control iOS 7 with your head

One of the most interesting options in iOS 7 in terms of accessibility is power perform some actions through a movement of our head.

The steps to follow in order to control certain iOS 7 options using head gestures are the following:

Open the settings application and access the General option. Once inside, click on the accessibility section which is where we can activate the desired option.

Now we have to go down a bit until we find the motor skills section. There we will see an option called "Button control"  which is where we have to enter. The next thing is to press on the switch that activates the control by button and after doing so, an alert message will appear indicating the following:

Button Control modifies the gestures used to control iPhone. Are you sure you wish to continue?

To the response generated by the system we will have to say OK so that the desired changes are applied.

The next step is to disable the "Automatic scan" option that will appear enabled by default. Now we access the section described with the label «Buttons» and click on «Add new button». Three options will appear, but of them we are left with the one for «Camera».

Now we will see two gestures that the front camera of the iPhone will detect and it will allow us to execute an action that we define within each one of them. Among all the options we have actions for all tastes and that allow us, for example, to simulate a press of the home button or invoke Siri. There, everyone can set their own preferences.

When we have the gestures configured, we will see that two blue bars appear on both sides of the screen. Now you simply have to turn your head to the left or right and the action that you have previously configured will be executed.

This technology has a number of limitations. For instance, consumes more battery and also, it is necessary to have good lighting conditions so that the front camera recognizes our face and its movements properly, otherwise, it will not work or it will do it incorrectly.

    Intrusive way to advertise Actualidad iPhone has found the worst of all, this blog already had enough advertising, on the side and below, that now they also put it in the middle of the focus of our interest, with a fairly large commercial in addition, keep in mind that not everywhere where They consult them, people have the speed of the Internet to quickly free themselves from a video (that no one wants to see) and be able to read paying attention to what really interests us. Is the income that this advertising can generate really justified versus the readers they are going to lose?
