Back to school – choose from fantastic vision aids!


A new school year starts and LVI stands ready to support students with various types of video magnifier solutions developed for the school environment. There are lots of possibilities, and we can provide students with visual impairments with the optimal solution for their unique study environment. Below we present a selection of our solutions, mainly those developed for the iPad, but we also have a broad range of other solutions which are excellent for school environments.

MagniLink iTAB – wired, compact and ergonomic video magnifier solution for iPad

MagniLink iTAB is a portable and flexible solution, a user-friendly video magnifier that connects to an iPad (the iPad is not included in the iTAB). This combination becomes a versatile and useful vision aid in a compact format that is easy to bring along from class to class.

 

MagniLink iTAB is developed for and connects directly to an Apple iPad via the USB-C connector. The tiltable stand for the iPad makes it ergonomic, and an extra USB-C port enables charging of the iPad while the system is in use. The MagniLink iTAB can be supplied with a document/distance camera with a crystal-clear image quality, but you can also choose an iTAB without a camera and instead connect a MagniLink video magnifier (for example a MagniLink S) if you already have one.

 

Once the software in the form of the MagniLink Viewer app for iOS is downloaded and installed on your iPad, the device is ready to use with feature-rich options. It is possible to split the image on the screen so that you simultaneously can read from a book or other printed text using the iPad's camera – and view the information on a whiteboard in the classroom with the iTab's distance camera. You can also split the image on the screen and use native iPad applications at the same time.

MagniLink WifiCam is a wireless solution where a box with a built-in document/distance camera is conveniently connected directly to an iPad. Once the MagniLink Viewer app for iOS is downloaded and installed on your iPad, and the MagniLink WifiCam is paired, you're all set. The MagniLink Viewer app provides full control over all features, such as magnification, artificial colors, split screen, guiding lines, OCR processing, image storage, video recording and more. The flexible camera arm and an integrated iPad stand are included in the MagniLink WifiCam, but the iPad is not.
