In
this session, we will explain the development process of our video
magnification system from the planning to the completion of development based
on the test results of the end users who are the low vision. And we will also
explain the detailed functions and performances of our new video magnification
system, especially our excellent user interface and our unique industrial
design.
We,
HIMS, had been developing Braille notetaker named Braille Sense for 6 years. Based
on such development experiences of hardware, software and deep understanding of
the visually disabled, we determined to develop the video magnification system.
We started development of the video magnification system at the beginning of
2004. And we, HIMS, finally finished developing of the first model which is
desktop video magnification system on March 2005.
And
during the development of the video magnification system, we also had many of demonstration
meeting with the end users and collected many feedback and new ideas that would
improve the functions and performance including user interface design.
SenseView
has been designed many exiting features such as durability, a rotary
Magnification Dial, change the magnification size incrementally and
ergonomicall3y placed controls operated smoothly, Oversized Easy Glide moveable
reading table, with wrist rests, a new ergonomic designed handles and easy set
break enhance comfort and controls, instant Auto Focus with intelligent focus
lock, bring images and text into bright, clear focus instantly, with no manual
