A captivating case study of using filters on Instagram for safety has emerged from the Jackson Hole National Park in the United States. They have introduced a filter called “Selfie Control” that can be activated when posting on Instagram, with the aim of ensuring the safety of travelers from wildlife encounters.
This filter displays a warning to keep a safe distance from wildlife by showing images of wild animals in the center of the screen, accompanied by a message that if the encountered wildlife, such as black bears, bison, moose, or elk, appear larger than the displayed image, it means that the traveler is too close to that particular animal and may be at risk of being harmed by the animal.
The director of the Jackson Hole Visitor Center mentioned that in the past, general warnings about keeping a safe distance from wildlife were often numerical, making it difficult to accurately measure the distance. This Instagram filter provides a new experience and enhances the safety for travelers.
