Future Chromebooks may have 'Human Presence Sensor'

San Francisco: Tech giant Google is working on a "Human Presence Sensor" (HPS) for upcoming Chromebooks, which could be used for face unlock or other long-awaited Chrome OS features.

Earlier this year, in a blog post celebrating 10 years of Chromebooks, Google included a small teaser of what's next for Chrome OS.

In it, there's a promise of using ace sensor technologies for more personalised experiences," 9To5Google reported.

While there has been significant work done over the last few months to make this human presence sensor work on a hardware level, there's only been one clue so far as to what Chrome OS will do with it.
