> Hi everyone -- I have posted here in the past about the possibility of

> I've been working on this over the past few months. While there's still
> room for improvement, the system is quite usable and I'm pretty pleased
> with the results.

> I've created a Web page that describes what I've done:

> I hope that this information will be useful to other do-it-yourselfers who
> might want to try to put together a similar system. Maybe if a few of us
> create our own video magnifiers, we can all exchange ideas and come up
> with a really good solution. I think this would be a great benefit to many
> people with low vision.

> Please don't hesitate to contact me regarding this. If you have any ideas
> to share, or if you want to try this yourself and just have some
> questions, I'd love to hear from you and try to help.
