Week7 - Netflix Hack Day - Fall 2018

Words

Hack Days are a big deal at Netflix
They’re a chance to bring together employees
from all our different disciplines
to explore new ideas
experiment with emerging technologies.
there were hacks that ranged from making improvements to the product
We know even the silliest idea can spur something more.
You can also check out highlights from our past events
they support a culture of innovation
We believe in this work
even if it never makes it in the product
we love to share the creativity and thought put into these ideas
Major credit and thanks goes to all the teams
who put together a great round of hacks in 24 hours
allows you to skip right to the best
we’re eager to try a hack that
would allow people to navigate the iOS app just by moving their eyes
Face ID is great for accurately tracking eye position and facial expression
We used eye tracking to move the pointer around the screen
measured the time spent on the same area
We then used a facial gesture (tongue sticking out)
to dismiss a screen
Eating lunch together is a great way
catch up with our coworkers
sometimes we’re too busy to make the effort and end up eating lunch at our desks
