News & Reviews:   Safety Screen android app

Samsung has released an app called Safety Screen targeted specifically at children. It warns your kids and tell them to hold the device at a safe distance when they are are using their smartphone or tablet. It goes as far as blocking the screen with a pop-up animated sign, telling them to keep a safe distance. This way your kids will understand that every time they see that sign, they know they need to move back a little to have the sign disappear. It relies on the front camera and facial recognition to judge a safe distance between the kids and the device they hold.
