Transparent Screen app saves you from bodily injury while texting
Fond of texting while walking? Unless you're extremely nimble, you may have bumped into people, objects, or even stumbled. In extreme cases, you may have even bruised yourself or broken a few things. But if you have an Android device, you can use the Transparent Screen app to help you navigate even while you're glued to your gadget's display.
As its name implies, the app turns your display semi-transparent using your device's camera to show you what's directly in front of you. It's available for free download from the Android Market and once installed, using it is as easy as tapping on its icon. You also have complete control over the transparency of your display, so you can adjust the app's settings until you're comfortable with what you see.
A downside is that the app is a battery drainer, so it's not something you can run on your smartphone or tablet all the time. While testing, we also noticed a considerable lag on our device that defeats its purpose. We hope a future update fixes this problem, because the Transparency Screen app could be pretty useful if you really can't help but text while on the move.
