It’s known that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note phablet will be accompanied by a plethora of official accessories. One of the interesting add-ons for the Note 4 will be an Ultrasonic Cover, which is said to be designed to help people with vision related disabilities.
According to a report from SamMobile, the new cover will consist of an ultrasonic sensor that will detect the nearby objects and provide feedback. It is said that the consumers will be able to change the range of the signals and get to choose between three levels – short, middle and long.
You can check out the description of the accessory below:
