Glance by Mirametrix

Glance by Mirametrix is attention-sensing software for Windows PCs developed by Mirametrix Inc. of Montreal, Canada. It uses the computer's camera and local AI-based computer vision to detect whether the user is in front of the screen and which display they are looking at, and uses this information to improve productivity, security and digital wellness. Glance is available free of charge from the Microsoft Store and also ships with some laptops and monitors; on select Lenovo systems its features are offered through the Lenovo View application.

Features:

• Presence Detection: When you walk away, Glance can lock your session, turn off the display or start the screensaver; with Windows Hello Face Authentication the system unlocks automatically when you return.

• Privacy Alert: Glance shows a shield icon in the upper left or right corner of the screen when someone is detected behind you.

• Privacy Guard: On devices with a built-in privacy display, the privacy screen is switched on when another person looks at your screen and off when they leave; a connected external monitor is blurred.

• Smart Display: Glance blurs the screens you are not watching to protect your work.

• Snap Window: Windows can be moved across multiple monitors naturally, following where you look.

• Smart Pointer: Glance helps you find the mouse cursor when you work with several screens.

• Smart Player: Your media player pauses when you walk away, so you do not miss anything from the content you are watching.

• Digital Wellness: A 20-20-20 rule reminder helps prevent digital eye strain, and a Posture Warning alerts you when you sit with a poor posture.

• Video Conferencing: Virtual Presenter overlays you on the desktop during screen sharing in Teams, Zoom, Google Meet or Webex without a green screen, and Auto Mute and Mute Warning help manage the microphone.

• Visualizer: A green, yellow or red indicator shows whether you are sitting in the optimal range for Glance to sense you.

Glance by Mirametrix protects your data and simplifies multi-monitor work by reacting automatically when you look away or leave the PC.
