MacroDroid - An Android application to Automate your Tasks.

Have you ever thought of automating your Mobile or to trigger any events when you open or close any application?

MacroDroid allows you to Automate your Mobile by creating a custom macro to automate tasks on your Android device. You can use it to turn off Bluetooth, silence your phone, disable data when you’re at the office, home or outside. You can even set it to read aloud incoming text messages for you or make a quick photo upload to your favorite social network by simply shaking your phone. There is also a template section where you can use ready-made macros instead of creating your own.

If you've ever tried other automation apps you may have found them difficult to understand and hard to configure. MacroDroid aims to change this by focusing on an intuitive UI without sacrificing on features.

A few examples of what MacroDroid can automate:

1.Turn on/off Wifi when you launch/close a particular app

2.Mute your device when entering a calendar event

3.Respond to an incoming SMS by sending your current location

4.Toggle the power button to speak the time (e.g. in your pocket)

5.Use NFC to configure the device (turn on bluetooth, set volume)

6.Speak notifications/SMS messages when the device is in a car dock

How to Use the Application?

Unlike other automating tools available the MacroDroid is very simple tool so that anyone can understand easily.

To add any automated task to your mobile click on add macro from the page.

Then you can select trigger which means on what event your action action to be run. 

Once you have selected the trigger we will see the action page where we actually select which action we need to run once the event is triggered and even you can add constraints for the same.

This application is available in Google play store for free. Happy Automating. 

Xiaomi has officially launched its first Mobile VR Headset in China

Xiaomi on August 4 launched its first virtual reality headset called Mi VR Play. Currently they bought this device only for china users for a price of 1 Chinese Yuan (10 Rupees approx.) as  Introductory price. Xiaomi has been testing its VR headset for quite sometime. Now the company has finally developed a product that could reach the hands of many Xiaomi smartphones users.

The 208.7 grams Mi VR headset is compatible with smartphones with screen size ranging from 4.7-inch to 5.7-inch.

So What is Virtual Realtity?

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are popular keywords in technology field recently. Do you actually know what is VR and AR? A very good example of AR is the recently launched very popular mobile game: Pokemon Go which simulates artificial objects in the real environment while Virtual Reality creates an artificial environment to inhabit. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds with head-mounted display.

Here are some of the highlights of Xiaomi VR:

1. Immersive VR experience in lightweight, ultra-comfortable Lycra with secure two-way zip design
2. Textured metal button lets you control your smartphone easily
3. Anti-reflective, optical-grade aspheric lens provides maximum clarity
4.Anti-slip strips keep your smartphone secure and aligned with the lenses, no need to keep fiddling for the best possible view
5. Personalize and play. Mi VR Play comes with stylish suits that let you show off your personality
6. Accommodates 4.7”-5.7” smartphones
7. Mi VR app, an open VR platform for more content in China
8. Panoramic 2D and 3D Chinese content library

The headset requires a compatible phone to work . Xiaomi’s smartphones are yet to support any VR headset and it was but natural for the company to announce one.


For now, the Xiaomi VR is going to be available only in China. There is no word yet on India launch or availability, or even the price of the device, although it won't be very expensive going by the the way Xiaomi has priced it in China, that is if it comes to India.
