The IDEAL Video Magnifier uses the inbuilt camera and video recording capabilities of your Android smartphone to turn it into an electronic magnifier that can be used for tasks such as reading letters, newspapers or books, or viewing objects.
Features of the IDEAL Video Magnifier include:
- Magnification of text and objects
- Invert colours for high contrast, white on black viewing
- Black on white mode
- The application of colour tinting to the item you are viewing
- The option to use your smartphone’s inbuilt LED flash as a light source in dim conditions
All of this is done in real time, so you can simply move your Android smartphone over the item and you will see the magnifier image of that item live on your smartphone screen.
You can download the IDEAL Video Magnifier from the Android Marketplace. Note that this application will only run on Android devices that are using FroYo – version 2.2 of the Android operating system.
Details about the accessibility features of Google Android can be found on the Media Access Australia website.
