Android / / December 19, 2019
Today, more and more often you can meet people who are on the street, buried in their smartphones. They almost do not notice what is happening around and completely absorbed by checking email, chatting and studying tape of social networks.
This habit can be dangerous not only for the person with a smartphone, but also for others. The new app Walk Mode from Samsung is designed to solve this problem.
Walk Mode works in the background and monitors the situation with the main camera device. If the field of view gets an object, the application displays on top of any open windows small translucent red icon. If the subject is at a dangerous distance, the Walk Mode icon grows in size and moves to the center of the screen.
In the setup program there is an interesting option, which is useful in the streets with heavy traffic. It is about recognizing the road signals and display the relevant notification. Thus, users who besides that stared at the screen, so still and listening to loud music on headphones, will be able to learn of approaching danger.
Although Walk Mode is intended for use in the production of Samsung devices, the application can be made to run on other smartphones. To do this, you just need to download the installation file and install the program. This can be done here.
