In case you didn’t notice, yesterday was April Fools’ Day and it was much awaited by the tech industry because all people want to see what Google would bring this year. We didn’t have to be disappointed as they continue with their smart pranks. Here are the most interesting ones.
Gmail Motion
On Gmail login page, users could see Google announce a new feature, Google Motion with the ability to open, write e-mail with body language. “To use Gmail Motion, you’ll need a computer with a built-in webcam. Once you enable Gmail Motion from the Settings page, Gmail will enable your webcam when you sign in and automatically recognize any one of the detected movements via a spatial tracking algorithm. We designed the movements to be easy and intuitive to perform and consulted with top experts in kinestetics and body movement in devising them.”
