| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to develop a new technology that brings innovative progress to visual-aid devices for low vision people by fundamentally reviewing the structure of the magnifying reading device. This research focuses on the problem that it is difficult for users to write letters on a piece of paper while using a conventional magnifying reading device. Such magnifying reading devices have several problems that the locations of use are limited, and so on. Therefore, this research aims to review the structure and function of such conventional devices and to propose a novel one. In this research, we adopted an idea that the conventional problem can be solved by taking pictures of written characters from the side, and according to this idea, we succeeded in prototyping a novel device that has a new camera system different from the conventional one.
