Apple action mode for people with Parkinson's
Apple has released a very special short film called No Frame Miseddesigned to show how technology can make a real difference in people's lives. The protagonist here is not a great futuristic advance, but something that millions of users already carry in the pocket, the iPhone. Specifically, the piece puts the focus on the Action modethat function that stabilizes the videos so that the recordings look fluid even when the camera trembles. Although Apple presented it at the time as a tool designed for extreme sports or moving scenes, in this short it is clear that its value goes much further.
The story follows three people who live with Parkinson: Brett Harvey, diagnosed at an early age, Ellen Victoria and Bette W., who have been dealing with the tremors and limitations caused by the disease for years. For them, holding a phone and recording a family memory or a simple daily scene can be a challenge. Thanks to action mode and the function of Voice controlwhich allows you to handle the iPhone without touching it, those barriers disappear. This can be a change in the way of recording, going from something frustrating to take the pleasure to do so.
The short film is created with images recorded by the protagonists themselveswhich makes it even more realistic, and not a simulation by Apple. It is not just an ad, but a reminder that we have accessibility tools within our reach. Apple takes the opportunity to strengthen this message also in the entertainment field, with examples such as the series Shrinkingwhere Parkinson has a visible role, or with the future appearance of Michael J. Fox in its third season.
