12% of people have approved of walking and texting with
the heads down and eyes glues to their smartphone. Well, are you one of them? If
yes, there’s good news for you! Apple has a solution for all the phone addicts!
Apple secured a patent with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office for a “transparent texting” technology. This technology would
enable users to look at whatever comes their way even when they are glued to their
iPhone.
The device’s rear-facing camera would replace the current
background that the phone has for messaging app and there would be a live video
from the camera. The users would be able to see what’s behind their phone after
they have turned on the feature. How would this feature work and would it be
successful in preventing accidents? Well, that’s still debatable.
The patent for this technology was filed way back in
September 2012. This feature could be used in many other apps as well apart
from messages. However, the company hasn’t announced what its plans for the
“transparent texting” are.
Apps and patents like these do not take guarantee for
absence of accidents. It could be quite distracting to walk and talk like
together. We suggest you to be careful while doing the same!
