A case that perceives the environment on behalf of its user is among three new accessories for disabled people announced by Samsung for smartphone Galaxy Core Advance. With name Ultrasonic Cover, the gadget is intended for people with vision problems, which it can alert via vibration or sound message in the event that an obstacle or a person is within a distance of up to 2 meters.
For this purpose, the Ultrasonic Cover mimics the "sonar" ability used by the bats to detect their prey. Thus, the case "scans" the space with ultrasound, recognizing from the reflected signals what is in the 2 range.
It is also useful for people with impaired vision base Optical Scan Stand, η οποία διευκολύνει την αναπαραγωγή γραπτών κειμένων μέσω συνθετικής ομιλίας. Κι αυτό γιατί έχει σχεδιασθεί με τέτοιο τρόπο ώστε η κάμερα του κινητού να εστιάζει καλύτερα στα τυπωμένα κείμενα, ενεργοποιώντας παράλληλα αυτόματα τη λειτουργία Optical Scan του Galaxy, μόλις το smartphone τοποθετηθεί στην ειδική θήκη στο πάνω μέρος της βάσης.
The third accessory is called a Voice Label and is essentially a "smart" tag that the user can hang on to any object after it has saved a recorded message with useful information - e.g. with the instructions for operating the object. So, having activated the NFC chip on the Galaxy Core Advance, every time his cell phone moves to the label, the recorded message will be played.
Η Samsung says it plans to release the three gadgets and other models of its "smart" phones.
