Smartphones and tablet have become children's new best friends because it enables children to enjoy the vast variety of education and entertainment apps.
Kids are now quick accessing to information and doing fun activities anywhere they are.
However, as kids are becoming excited about things happing on their device, their eyes are being exposed on device’s bright screens that causes cruel side effect – eye damage.
Samsung recently has announced the launch of the Samsung Safety Screen application that helps users, especially young children, hold their mobile devices at an ideal viewing distance from their eyes.
According to Samsung's research data, some of the potential problems that could develop from watching screens up too close are something like computer vision syndrome (headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, fatigue), strain to the brain, and corneal attacks. The company took these issues to heart and came up with the new Samsung Safety Screen (SSS) app which is designed to help children hold smart devices at an ideal safe distance.
Available for free to all Android devices on the Google Play store, the Samsung Safety Screen runs in the background on mobile devices and can even be password-enabled by parents. Employing advanced facial recognition software, a friendly animation pops up shutting down the screen when the device is held too close the eye, unlocking only once the device is held at the minimum recommended safe distance.
Samsung Safety Screen is compatible with all devices that have a front camera and run Android 4.3 and up.
