ZTE's Project CSX winner is an eye-tracking, self-adhesive phone

Remember Project CSX? ZTE’s attempt to crowdsource ideas for its next product? Well, ZTE has just recently picked the grand prize winner of Project CSX, and it is an “eye-tracking, self-adhesisve phone”. 

For the eye tracking part of the phone, the system will function by utilising a pair of front-facing cameras that are capable of following the user’s eye-movement. This eye-tracking functionality can then be used to accomplish certain tasks, like scrolling through webpages, or even navigating the phone’s home menu. This eye-tracking functionality will require the user to be looking directly at the screen itself, as the phone employs a split screen design. Those who are looking at the phone at an oblique angle will only see a static background image.

Of course, eye-tracking works better if the phone is stable. This is where the self-adhesive properties come in. The back of the phone will incorporate self-adhesive polymers, allowing it to stick against walls, railings or any other stable surface.

With a winner chosen, the phone will now be given a name via crowdsourcing. ZTE aims to bring this phone to the market in 2017.
