The free app “Skel Browser” has been released, which allows you to see the other side of the iPhone while using the browser, as if the iPhone became transparent.
The browser overlaps the real world!
“Skell Browser” is an application that makes the browser look transparent by launching the iPhone camera and Web browser at the same time and overlaying the image captured by the camera on the translucent browser.
According to the developer YuKiO (@oo_forward), it was developed in 2 hours assuming use in the following scenes where you do not want to block your view.
- I’m watching over my baby, but I want to do some research.
- I’m checking if anyone will come, but I’d like to do some research.
- I can’t let my guard down because there is a person I can’t help but I want to do some research.
- I’m looking at a good view, but I want to find out.
- I wanted to do some research while watching TV.
In addition, although it is described in the precautions of the application, please note that “walking smartphone” etc. is not only a violation of etiquette but also a risk of causing a serious accident.
I tried using “Skel Browser”
I also installed and used “Skell Browser”.
When you start it, the Google search screen is displayed overlapping the scenery captured by the camera, and you can change the transparency of the browser with the scroll bar.
I was able to play YouTube videos and check Twitter.
At the time of writing this article, it seems that browsing using multiple tabs is not supported, but due to the nature of the application that is supposed to be used with one hand, it may be better to use it simply and quickly rather than incorporating complicated functions. Maybe.
