Considering a wearable video magnifier may be beneficial if you suffer from low vision, but first be sure to visit a clinic near your home and meet with a Vision Rehabilitation specialist for assessment and advice before purchasing anything.

Jordy can be worn like glasses to see near, far and in between. When not being worn it folds up into a reading stand for desktop viewing.

Head-mounted

Head-mounted video magnifiers can help people with low vision. The device utilizes a camera, near-eye display, and image processing software to enhance images by clarifying them further and manipulate contrast levels, highlight particular areas or replace an image entirely with something different. Furthermore, these magnifiers enable people to perform multiple tasks at the same time unlike classical optical devices which only cover specific distances and tasks.

Wearable VST visors can help improve the clarity of images displayed by a head-mounted display system. Adjusted to match individual vision needs and can provide zoomed views of objects at various distances, these lightweight visors are comfortable enough to wear for extended periods, making a significant improvement over traditional eyeglasses which may cause discomfort or fatigue.

The device 10 shown here includes a head-mounted portion (e.g., 12T) to hold it to a user’s head for support, along with other support structures like straps and other supports that facilitate mounting it there. Furthermore, this device may display source images with magnifying windows that magnify them by an amount specified in magnification factors; and also show both images together stereoscopically to simulate their angular difference to each eye’s view of them.

This device can be configured to detect an input, and determine whether it’s intended for the magnifying window. For instance, the device can identify whether an input represents a selection of an graphical user interface element within its magnified display area by performing a ray cast operation to identify an unmagnified object that corresponds with it; furthermore, the input may then be remapped onto a point on the magnified display area.
