CEO Nimrod Madar said it is based on a very simple theory that vision actually happens in the brain as the eye captures light, the brain interprets that data, and the app can alter how the brain interprets that information.

This may impact the safety of people who text and walk at the same time, shows research. Scientists at University of Queensland in Australia studied the effect of cellphone use on body movement while walking in 26 individuals. Each person walked at a comfortable pace in a straight line over a distance of nearly 8.5 metre while doing one of three tasks - walking without the use of a phone, reading text on a mobile phone, or typing text on a mobile phone. Texting, and .. Read More
