Falls, "crashes" and other accidents - whether funny or more serious - are a daily occurrence on the streets of the world, now. The root of the evil is, of course, mobile phones and the addiction of users, who can't stop looking at the screen or writing while walking. Fortunately, an application promises to provide a solution to this too.
"Type n Walk" is exactly what its name suggests. It allows mobile users to type on their device while walking on the streets, without the risk of ending up with a broken leg from falling into an unseen obstacle.
By activating the application, the mobile phone's camera projects the image of the street in front of the user as a background while they write. That is, in a way at least, they are still seeing in front of them, even though they have their face... buried in the phone.
This can prove to be a particularly useful tool, as according to a study by the University of Queensland, those who text on their cell phones while talking are more likely to stumble and fall, not only because an obstacle may suddenly be thrown in their way, but also because this habit causes them to unconsciously change their body posture.
