An auto 3D smartphone magnifier is software that interfaces with a phone’s graphical output to present enlarged screen content. By enlarging part (or all) of a screen, people with visual impairments can better see words and images. Screen magnifiers can be especially helpful for people suffering from low vision, including elderly users. The quality of the magnifier, including how closely it can focus on text and objects, will vary depending on the quality of the camera in your iPhone or iPad. In this article we are going to look into the step by step guideline on you can effective use the Auto 3D Smartphone Screen magnifier.
Features of Auto 3D Smartphone Magnifier
Ranges of 1- to 16-times magnification are common. The greater the magnification the smaller the proportion of the original screen content that can be viewed, so users will tend to use the lowest magnification they can manage.
Screen magnifiers commonly provide several other features for people with particular sight difficulties:
- Color conversion
- Smoothing
- Cursor customization
- Different magnification mode
- Crosshairs
- Screen reader
Color conversion: People with poor vision, prefer to invert the colors, typically turning text from black-on-white to white-on-black. This can reduce screen glare and is useful for elderly people suffering from age-related macular degeneration.
Smoothing: Text can become blocky and harder to recognize when enlarged. Some screen magnifiers use interpolation to smooth the text to compensate.
Cursor customization: The mouse and text cursors can often be modified in several ways, such as circling it to help the user locate it on the screen.
Different magnification: Screen magnifiers can alter how they present the enlarged portion: covering the full screen, providing a lens that is moved around the un-magnified screen, or using a fixed magnified portion.
Crosshairs: Even with magnification, some users can find the mouse pointer hard to see. Crosshairs — especially when their size, color and opacity are customizable — can make the use of a pointing device easier.
Screen reader: Some magnifiers come packaged with a basic screen reader, allowing whatever the user is pointing at to be read out.
