When it comes to workstations for people with visual impairments,
guidelines on ergonomics are not well defined. One factor behind this is
the varying degree of visual impairments. What we do know is that
looking at, or slightly down towards our reading area is more comfortable
than looking up. We also know that most people will read things that are
approximately 50 cm away. When things are closer or too far away, it
affects our ability to read things easily.
With this in mind, we set out to develop a video magnifier that could be
adjusted almost infinitely, thus allowing each individual to find a reading
position that is optimized for their eye condition.
Holding the left and right lower edges of the screen with their hands, the
users can move the screen up and down, adjust the tilt to a comfortable
angle that is glare free, and adjust the distance of the screen by pushing
it away for increased distance, or pulling it toward you for reduced
distance.
