How does Chrome find out?
Is it watching my camera?
Or just no mouse or keyboard activity for a while — because if the latter, my website could already know that.
We built an app for distance learning which put something a lot more invasive (but with permission)… namely eye tracking and facial recognition to see whether the kids are paying attention. It’s actually LESS invasive than the current alternative — requiring the kid to keep their camera on. Now the teacher jusy knows when the kid is present and when not.
Frankly, USA public schooling is about as invasive and controlling for kids as schooling can get. Every minute of their lives inside the school is regimented. So distance learning can be a respite.
