The new application also offers a range of different features such as mini-games, news feeds, and selfie tools.

The Walt Disney Company has now released a new mobile game app with a Star Wars theme that is designed to give users the complete experience, from selfie tools to mini-games, and from news feeds to a number of augmented reality components, among other things.

This free mobile app was released last week and is meant to be the official connection to the brand.

In fact, when Disney released it, they called it “your official mobile connection to a galaxy far, far away.” The mobile game app is free to download and is available for both iOS and Android users. While mobile apps that are tied to movies have a tradition of being so-so, at best, this one at least provides users with a large number of different types of experience and it has been created to keep fans up to date with the very latest at the same time.

The Star Wars mobile game app is meant to keep fans entertained and informed as the new movie release approaches.

Once this mobile app has been downloaded, the user is able to choose from among three different possible themes: Droid, Light Side, and Dark Side. The app runs a countdown to the release of the next Star Wars movie, and has a feed of news relating to the film and the franchise. It also provides users with a library of official videos, sound bites, and images from the animated series and films. The images are apparently of rather poor quality, but users appear to be enjoying the sound board feature.

It is, however, the augmented reality element that is standing out the most in this mobile game app. This is because it allows smartphone and tablet users to project images of characters from the upcoming “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” movie onto the real world around them, when viewed through the device screen. Among the characters that are available include the new BB-8 droid and a stormtrooper. Disney has pointed out that “This app will continue to grow, evolve, and become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

The rise in popularity of wearables is presenting a new form of distraction for drivers on the roads.

While it has been widely accepted that it is dangerous to drive while using a mobile device and, in many places, it has also been deemed illegal, the rising popularity of wearable technology has opened up an entirely new category of tech that does not quite fall into the same category as smartphones.

That said, a safety watchdog considers wearables to be just as dangerous behind the wheel.

That watchdog is now working to have the use of wearable technology by drivers banned while their vehicles are operational on New Zealand roads. The idea is that these gadgets are just as dangerous as smartphones in terms of the distraction that they create for drivers, so the hope is that they will be able to add smartwatches and other types of similar devices to the list of gadgets that drivers are not allowed to use while the keys are in the ignition.

The goal is to ban the use of wearable technology behind the wheel early, before it causes collisions.

Caroline Perry, an advocate from the Brake road safety charity, explained that “A second’s inattention at the wheel can result in tragedy. Smartwatches and other wearable technology are extremely distracting if used while driving.”

Currently, the law in New Zealand states that drivers are not permitted to use their cell phones while they are driving. However, the language of the law does not extend to wearables such as smartwatches like the Apple Watch. This is exactly the issue that Perry and her organization – as well as other safety advocates – are hoping to be able to change.

That said, even before the use of wearables becomes banned by law, Perry is still hoping that motorists will take it upon themselves to remove their wearables or shut them off while they are driving. “Our advice to drivers is to take them off and put them out of reach so that you aren’t tempted to use them at the wheel.”

Since wearable technology is a relatively new category and the number of people who actually own smartwatches, so far, remains pretty small, road safety laws have not yet caught up to the types of products that are available to consumers. Safety advocates, however, are acting as quickly as they can so that they can help to encourage the laws to change in time to prevent many of the potential accidents that would otherwise happen.
