Apple is patenting a smart speaker that can be controlled with a glance. This will be possible thanks to cameras equipped with the device.

The patent application states that the device is equipped with one or more cameras. This innovation will allow people to control the gadget with a look, according to the website of the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

The placement of cameras or cameras, according to developers, will simplify the focus on objects. For example, the user can ask the column to turn on the light in the room and point it with a look at the desired device.

Whether Apple will start mass-production of such smart speakers is still unknown. At the moment, it is only a patent application.

The other day, OXO wrote that Apple will release a new "budget" smartphone, which may be called the iPhone SE 2020. According to insiders, the new product will receive a 4.7-inch screen and up to 256 gigabytes of flash memory.
