💡Google granted patent for a motorized laptop hinge that auto-aligns with a user’s face .
A new patent just granted to Google, though, is something we could actually envision coming to a Chromebook or Pixelbook in the future.
The idea behind the patent itself is pretty simple. First, there would need to be a touch-sensitive section on the lid of the laptop that would detect someone tapping on it.
Then, using different ambient light sensors as well as other cameras, the laptop would use a motorized hinge to open the computer’s lid.
What’s even better, though, is that the different sensors would also identify and track the user’s face and open the hinge to the best angle for viewing.
