Windows 10 Mobile will now support better and more accurate selfie-intended images as the latest build is purported to have a face tracking feature added into the device's front-facing camera.
Version 5.38.2004 of Windows Camera will now have face tracking designed for those who want to get the best shot possible by being able to frame their subjects well. Using this feature would allow users to take images without having to worry about their shaky hands or less firm grip.
The reason for this is because face tracking technology allows the camera to self-adjust its focus which is even more heightened when the user's hands are not holding the device steadily. This could also come in handy in certain situations wherein the user is at a non-steady location such as at a Merry Go Round or at a horseback riding spree. In other words, all the user would need to do is to simply click the shutter and Windows 10 will do the rest.
The new feature is also Microsoft's way of adding more focus on the device's front camera which had always stayed behind the shadows of its rear counterpart. Up to this point, front-facing cameras have lesser resolution than the rear-facing shutters. However, the emergence of a new group of camera buffs who are keen on taking selfie images had somehow created awareness on the need to increase the importance of the role that front-facing cameras should take. Having said that, it looks like Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile is also moving towards that same direction.
Another notable feature of the build is the newly designed camera icon where it is said to exude a more prominent look. According to Microsoft, the update is intended to make the app more recognizable than before. This can be a nice addition particularly to those who are using the app for the first time.
So far, the exact release date of Windows 10 Mobile is still unclear although there are hints that the new mobile OS will have its curtain call around September. For now, the only thing certain is that the Windows 10 desktop version is launching on July 29.
Microsoft may be struggling to gain a much bigger market share and may find it tough to dominate the space occupied mostly by iOS and Android. However, the company doesn't seem to concede just yet as it continues to add new builds and updates to its latest OS.
