This feature, pauses whatever movie you are watching when you close your eyes for more then three seconds.
Simple face tracking is all that is required. If no eyeballs focused on the screen, the currently playing content pauses. Anytime you get up to get a snack or go to the bathroom, paused. Fall
asleep at 3am after a long shift, right before Keegan swings the bat, paused.

I see a lot of privacy concerns with streaming apps having access to a camera in your home... It's a no from me, dawg. |

No, what I was thinking is that when you are watching a horror film, or some gruesome wildlife documentary ("cannibal insects in super-close-up" perhaps?), or the news and they go to their reporter in Westminster, and then you close your eyes to block out the disgusting scenes being broadcast into your house. Close your eyes, count to ten, and peep to see if it has finished - Oh No its only just starting still! |
