IDEAL Magnifier Provides High Quality Android Video Magnification
Developer’s Description: Low vision is a worldwide problem affecting 120 million people. Many of them cannot afford to purchase hand-held video magnifiers to accommodate their vision needs. School children are the most impacted. Young people (and everyone else) with low vision deserve the opportunity to read print materials on an equal basis with their peers without being made fun of or having to pay for expensive commercial dedicated products.
IDEAL Magnifier is a high-quality, free, open source video magnification application for Android Froyo(Android’s browser) smartdevices. Color filter options include mono, negative, sepia, posterize, whiteboard, blackboard, and aqua. Magnification is in real-time. Controls include volume up and down as well as zooming in and out. Pressing a button brightens your LED lighting. Tapping on the screen provides automatic refocusing. Students at Ohio State School for the Blind consider this application more robust and flexible than $1,800 dedicated hand-held magnification devices selling for $750-$1,000. Now anyone can turn their Android device into a portable magnifier.
