Digital Glasses for Low Vision 1.0

This application uniquely combines magnification and augmented reality, serving as both a simple magnifier and a cost-effective alternative to the high-priced headsets such as eSight, NuEyes, and OxSight.

Among the various magnifier applications designed for individuals with low vision or visual disabilities, this app distinguishes itself by providing a fully-functional augmented reality experience. This feature enables legally blind users to enhance their natural sight, offering similar visual benefits to those provided by costly commercial devices at a fraction of the price.

By utilizing affordable AR/VR headsets alongside inexpensive Bluetooth remotes or smartwatches like Apple or Pebble, individuals experiencing conditions such as macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy can significantly improve their independence and autonomy.

Features:

• Magnifier mode allows for zooming and enlarging text and everyday objects, with adjustable brightness, color saturation, contrast, and flashlight activation for enhanced visibility.
• Headset mode enables hands-free sight enhancement with any compatible AR/VR headset.
• Compatibility with iCade Bluetooth remote controllers, Apple Watches, and Pebble Smartwatches (excluding Round watches) for easy control.
• Control visibility settings via remotes or smartwatches.
• Access to instructional How-To videos for all features.

Note: To utilize all features, users require an AR/VR headset to support their phone or iPod Touch, in addition to a Bluetooth remote, Apple Watch, or Pebble Watch for control. The app provides links to compatible components and instructions for setup.

If users encounter compatibility issues with their Bluetooth remotes or devices, the developers encourage reaching out in order to enhance accessibility for everyone.

Prophet Studios is dedicated to creating reliable and innovative applications. The motivation behind this app stemmed from a personal experience involving a family member facing significant vision loss. The high costs of existing vision-enhancing headsets prompted the development of this solution—an effort to provide equitable access to visual assistance without prohibitive financial burdens.
