Samsung has expanded its Bespoke Jet Bot AI to more people and launched a special edition for visually impaired people in South Korea. This new Bespoke Jet Bot AI is developed by applying the design built in collaboration with the pattern design brand ‘dropdropdrop‘. The special edition of the Bespoke Jet Bot AI is based on the concept of ‘EYE LIKE Jet Bot’ and is meant to improve visual accessibility.

Moreover, over 90% of Koreans suffering from visual impairment have low vision with residual vision. So, they can basically perceive contrast and certain colors to detect the product easily.
