Fast Facts: Maggie iVR Wearable Magnifier that Uses an iPhone!

Hello everyone and welcome to another Tech Connect presented by Vision Forward Association! This Tech Connect is our Fast Facts on Maggie iVR, that means we skip past the basics and assume you already have experience with assistive technology terms, techniques and tools! On Fast Facts we trim out the fluff and musings so you can focus on all the exciting things that this wearable can do!

However, if you want more context, including controls, an in-depth explanation of each mode, development history, and overall industry impact, then maybe you should check out our Deep Dive on Maggie iVR! You can find that link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN2_fUtvfik

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.
