Smart Video takes viewing videos on mobile devices to a whole new level of convenience with eye recognition that eliminates the need to manually control playback during the viewing experience.<\/p>\n<p>Through the implementation of advanced eye recognition technology, Smart Video recognizes the position of the viewer\u2019s eyes and automatically plays or stops the video without any manual input from the user. When the viewer\u2019s eyes are no longer focused on the smartphone display, the front camera recognizes this and immediately pauses the video automatically. Once the user\u2019s gaze returns to the smartphone, the video resumes playback from the point last viewed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Smart Video feature, Optimus G Pro will also be equipped with the world\u2019s first Dual Camera function. The Dual Camera feature is an extension of the Dual Recording feature which debuted on the Optimus G Pro introduced in the Korean market last month. Dual Camera simultaneously captures photographs using both the front and back cameras for a picture-in-picture composition. Users can now be a part of the story, not just observers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLG is continuously innovating to offer creative ways to offer a user experience that adds value to our customers,\u201d said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Elec-tronics Mobile Communications Company. \u201cIt\u2019s the positive UX that will differentiate smartphones in 2013 and beyond, not only cutting-edge hardware specs.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Smart Video and Dual Camera features will be introduced as a part of the Value Pack upgrade which will be offered for the Optimus G Pro in the Korean market next month. These features will also be made available for some LG premium smartphones in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Other features in the Value Pack upgrade include:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2022 Magic Remote Pad and Text Keypad via the QRemote function. These new options for QRemote work specifically with LG<br \/>\nSmart TVs to enhance convenience when using Optimus G Pro as a remote control for LG Smart TVs.<br \/>\n\u2022 The Smart LED Lighting outlining the home button of the Optimus G Pro will be upgraded so users can customize the colors<br \/>\nto correspond to their favorite contacts. The flashing of the LED in different colors will allow users to identify the source of<br \/>\nincoming calls, missed calls, unread messages and emails.<br \/>\n\u2022 Video Pause\/Resume allows the user to stop and start in record mode for one continuous video file.<br \/>\n\u2022 The first Color Emoticons in an Android smartphone for more personalized text messages.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Come comment on this article: <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/154263-latest-value-pack-for-optimus-g-pro-adds-eye-tracking-software-and-more\/\">Latest &#8216;Value Pack&#8217; for Optimus G Pro Adds Eye-tracking Software and More<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>Visit <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/\">TalkAndroid for Android news<\/a>, <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/\">Android guides<\/a>, and much more!<\/small><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/VXzkKvMOWYg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LG is allegedly planning to release a new &#8220;Value Pack&#8221; (VP) for their Optimus G Pro handset.
