Normally when you need to wait at a crossing because it’s red you take out your phone to waste some time. But you have to be quite anxious and look up if it’s already green or not, otherwise you miss the green light.
But they help you out with that here in Korea by building in the traffic light into the curb. You’re looking down on your phone and see the red line left and right of it. Once it changes to green you immediately are aware of it because it’s in your field of view constantly.
Great invention!
I took the background picture just outside and put the stock picture hands with a phone on top of it so you can easier visualize it how it looks like in reality.
Dude people are fucked. When people die in round based online games they instantly go on their phones now until the next round. Even in games that require post death teamwork and comms. I have seen the stop light thing too, even for a 20s stop. Absolutely zero ability to just do nothing for a couple seconds and look up at the real world.
