HOW VISION BUDDY IMPROVES LOW VISION

The Vision Buddy headset is simple to use, with only 3 modes navigated by one button.

• Magnification : With the magnification mode, users can regain the ability to see faces, observe their surroundings, and experience overall improved vision for day-to-day tasks.
• TV Mode : One of the most common problems for individuals with low vision is attempting to watch their favorite programs. The Vision Buddy headset significantly improves this capability by streaming the image directly into the device through the TV Hub, rather than only using magnification alone. This reduces pixelization often caused by magnifiers alone, and allows the user to relax in their chair without having to sit extremely close to the television.
• Reading Mode : The reading mode can not only improve the user’s quality of life, but it can also provide more independence for reading mail, paperwork, checks, and even includes an OCR function if they would prefer to have the information read to them.
• CCTV Mini : From our newest updates, we introduced the CCTV Mini camera. This external document reader provides a more stable view of reading by displaying the image of the book or object directly into the headset to prevent blur caused by head movements with autofocus.
• Computer Link : For browsing the internet, reading emails, watching videos, and even computer gaming, we released the Computer Link. With this companion product, users can now connect the headset directly to their computers and phones to enlarge the screen for ease of use and improving productivity.
