Drivemode Uses Gestures and Your Voice to Control Your Phone While Driving
Android: Controlling your phone while driving is not easy. Google Now and other voice assistants can do a lot, but Drivemode takes the idea further. It includes many of these voice commands with a simple gesture and color based interface that is non-distracting.
You can see some of the features in the video above. Drivemode calls this its “no look” interface, and while the video definitely looks a lot, most of the app’s functions are simple gestures that you’ll quickly remember and can perform without taking your eyes off. road. Plus, Drivemode responds to voice commands and feedback, reads text messages and other alerts aloud and lets you respond with your voice, and more.
The various “modes” of the driving interface also work seamlessly with the apps you’ve installed, so launching Google Music today and Spotify tomorrow doesn’t require a ton of reconfiguration or tweaking. You can answer calls without interrupting your navigation, and it will even automatically direct you to your destination if you have an appointment (with location) on your calendar and get in your car. The app has been in beta testing for some time, and the development team is able to incorporate user suggestions into the app. Follow the link below to give it a try.
