Meet the Maggie iVR: A Low Vision Wearable Powered by iPhone 15 Pro!

Hello and welcome to another Tech Connect presented by the Vision Forward Association!

Today we are going to demonstrate the various modes of the low vision wearable: Maggie iVR! Our Assistive Technology Experts will explain this device's controls and then test just how well it preforms in a variety of situations! This includes: close-up and distance text, contrast and low light adjustments, and of course a television test. Perhaps most importantly we tested how this device feels to use for longer periods of time. Our Assistive Technology Experts are excited to share their findings with everyone.
