Researchers at Google are developing technology that will notify you if someone is looking over your shoulder to snoop on your phone. The feature is called "Electronic Screen Protector" and uses artificial intelligence to tell if someone is trying to take a peek at your screen.
The technology was developed by researchers, Hee Jung Ryu and Florian Schroff, who demonstrated the new technology in a video uploaded to YouTube.
The tool could be used by professionals to help protect sensitive data or help boost the privacy of any smartphone user, especially those using their device in a crowded place.
The system works using the front camera to detect if a second pair of eyes are looking at the screen, it then sends an alert to the user if it detects the presence of someone else.
Check out the demo video below.
