Samsung Galaxy Core Advance Accessories Offer Users A Sixth Sense
Samsung has released three new accessories for users of the Galaxy Core Advance mobile device that require special assistance.
The Ultrasonic Cover, Optical Scan Stand, and Voice Label were specially designed with the needs of disabled and visually impaired users.
The Ultrasonic Cover allows users to detect obstacles and navigate unfamiliar places by sending an alert through a vibration or TTS feedback. By holding the Cover in front of the user, it can enhance a visually impaired user's awareness
of their surroundings by sensing the presence of a person or object up to 2 meters away.
The Optical Scan Stand positions the device to focus on printed materials, automatically activating the Optical Scan application, which recognizes text from an image and reads it aloud to the user. The Optical Scan Stand is useful when a consumer is alone, automatically initiating the application to read text as soon as paper is sensed on
the stand.
The Voice Label assists users in distinguishing objects by allowing them to make notes and tag voice labels on-the-go. With NFC technology enabling connection to their smartphones, users can record, stop and access their notes. This feature can also help a user distinguish how to use electronics by allowing them to record a short explanation.
Galaxy Core Advance sports a 4.7" display and delivers a range of smart features, including S Voice, S Translator, Sound & Shot, Group Play and Easy Mode.
The new Galaxy Core Advance accessories are already available and are offered separately from the device.
Samsung plans to expand accessibility of other Galaxy devices in the future.
