This is one of those ideas that seems so simple you wonder why you hadn’t thought of it. Apple has recently filed a patent for technology that will allow you to see where you are going while you are texting. No more stepping into holes or walking into light poles while you walk and text. In the texting app on an iPhone you would be able to activate the rear camera. The text bubbles would then float over a live video feed of the area in front of you.
Of course we would not have any new viral videos of people running into things while texting, but progress has a price.
