The Breathaleyes app.. Safe your Life and Save your Money

Being a party animal has a great responsibility to keep yourselve safe from drunk driving and saving your wallet from fines from authorities. That is mostly what happens if you don't know how drunk you are!

Relating to alcoholic consumption, good news! Here is an application that makes sure you control your drinking! Introducing The Breathaleyes application that looks into your eyes and tell you how drunk you are by using an iPhone camera to detect whether is time to stop before you drop! When I say drop means sleeping on the road side and not remembering what happen to you last night. Bummer!

Besides, it’s also for your own good by monitoring whether you’re too drunk to drive. I’m sure you’re thinking about escaping from police road blocks, but that’s not my point as the most important thing is for us to make sure we reduce the accident rates during such a wonderful celebration day. 

The application’s maker claims that the test is accurate to within o.o2 percent of a breathalyser test or in other words breathe alcohol testing to determine the blood alcohol concentration in a drunk driver, usually used by police force. As for the HGN test, it tracks horizontal eye movements caused by alcohol and its one of the admissible in court in several American states.  The technical term of the rapid movement after drinking or HGN is ‘Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus’.

The maker also describes this as “a condition of the eye indicated by the involuntary rhythmic oscillating motion of the pupil left and right across the horizontal field view”, adding that Nystagmus can also be the consequences of any brain  disease, sedative, stroke or even elevated levels of blood alcohol content.

According to the road safety expert, warns that this hi-tech version testers might let you down. As according to Andrew Howard, the Automotive Association’s Head of Road Safety: “if you test when you leave a pub car park, your blood alcohol levels will rise for about 40 minutes- so you could pass a BreathalEyes test, then fail the real thing half an hour later”. This is also because the kind of Breathalyser that police use on motorist only works about 20 min after the consumption of alcohol and this application works almost instantly. Anyhow, the best solution is still “Don’t drink and drive”, if you are to drink in a party; just make sure you have a driver or alternatively sleep over.

The application uses mobile phone’s camera function to take a picture of someone looking as far as they can to one side, it will then measure any tiny movement the pupil is making. The developer also stress that this application is strictly for entertainment purposes only and HGN may also be caused due to certain medical condition and high altitude.

It a fun and unique application, also to promote safe driving and first hand warning for driving ability to drive.

Most important be safe and drink responsibly!
