Akiba Spill] A remote control for smartphones that can shut down the camera using ultrasonic waves is now on sale.

The "Ultrasonic Shutter" is a remote control that recognizes ultrasonic waves emitted by the remote control from the microphone and triggers the camera shutter by installing a dedicated application (compatible with iOS 6.1 or later/Android 4.1 or later) on a smartphone.

No pairing or other settings are required, as is the case with conventional Bluetooth-connected remote controls, so anyone can easily take pictures with the remote control. The remote control comes with a stand for smartphones, making it easy to take selfies and enjoy fixed-point photography.

In addition to its own use, this product would also make a good gift for those who are unfamiliar with smartphone operation.

The price is 1,280 yen (tax included).
