Galaxy S IV may use eye controlled page scrolling

The New York Times has written an article saying that it knows some of the features of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S IV. Most interesting of all, is a new system to scroll through your pages, but with no actual physical touching of the screen.

Take a look:

“Samsung’s next big smartphone, to be introduced this month, will have a strong focus on software. A person who has tried the phone, called the Galaxy S IV, described one feature as particularly new and exciting: Eye scrolling.

The phone will track a user’s eyes to determine where to scroll, said a Samsung employee who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media. For example, when users read articles and their eyes reach the bottom of the page, the software will automatically scroll down to reveal the next paragraphs of text.”

"To back up the claim, Times’ reporter Brian Chen dug up some interesting trademarks filed by Samsung recently. The first, named “Eye Scroll,” is described exactly as the above feature is. And the second, “Eye Pause,” was filed without a description."

The media event for the Galaxy S IV is only 10 days away, on March 14! What do you think? Is this feature for the better or the worse?
