Apple introduced the Screen Distance feature in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, with which it warns the user that they are using the device too close to the screen, for which it uses the TrueDepth camera, with the aim of protecting the view.

The American technology company continues to implement features in its devices focused on user health care. In this case, with functions that seek to protect eyesight to reduce diseases such as myopia, which, according to Apple, is the main cause of visual impairment in the world.

In this sense, iPhones and iPads integrate an option that launches a notification to users in the form of a warning when it detects that they are using the smartphone or tablet too close to the screen, as explained by Apple through a statement in your website.

This is the Screen Distance feature that, when active, uses the TrueDepth camera, with FaceID, to encourage users to “move their device away” after detecting that it has been held less than 30 cm from their eyes for “a prolonged period of time”.

Optionally enabled, Screen Distance will alert users by setting the screen background to white with a central message stating “iPad is too close” accompanied by the explanation that “Keep your iPad from a distance can protect your eyesight“.

Once the device has been moved away from the user’s face, the screen changes and a verification message appears explaining that the device “is at a safe distance”. Below, a Continue button appears to continue carrying out the activities that the user was carrying out.

In this way, the function reminds users to “adopt healthy viewing habits” that can reduce the risk of visual diseases such as myopia. Apple also noted that it offers adult users the option to reduce “digital eye strain.”

Microsoft has presented its new Windows 11 SE operating system, designed specifically for use in education and for students, with which it intends to compete with Chromebooks, laptops that use ChromeOS.

This operating system gives priority to the cloud, in order to serve teachers who need a simple environment, with easy access to the content that is taught in classes, as the company announced in a statement.

Windows 11 SE is designed for students in grades K-8, that is, for children between 5-14 years old, who use a laptop provided by the school or college. Therefore, one of the main differences with respect to Windows 11 is that it has an interface that helps avoid distractions.

It features a simplified design so that students can concentrate during class, as Microsoft has removed the multiple Snap Layouts features of Windows 11 and adjusts the windows to provide the full-screen version of those applications.

Safe experience

On the other hand, in Windows 11 SE, applications can only be installed by IT administrators to ensure that students have a safe experience. In this way, users will not have access to the Microsoft Store nor will they be able to download applications from the Internet at will.

Although the device has a number of applications installed as standard by the manufacturer, other apps can continue to be used through the Microsoft Edge browser, without the need to download and install them.

Some of the standard apps on Windows 11 SE devices are Teams, Office, OneNote, Minecraft for Education, and Flipgrid, which IT administrators don’t have to install separately.

Along with this launch, Microsoft has detailed which are the devices that can be used with this operating system, among which are Lenovo 100w Gen3, Acer TravelMate B3 or Dell Latitude 3120.
