Now, it appears that Samsung have upgraded their eye-tracking technology with some new features for the Galaxy S4. According to the Times one of these new features is Smart Scroll , where "new paragraphs will automatically come into view when your eyes hit the end of a paragraph." Smart Scroll will work on the Samsung internet browser, Chrome, the Samsung email client and
