See the Blackboard and the Book with the SmartView Graduate Portable Video Magnifier


Many of us take our vision for granted.  Yet, to be able to see both near and far is a luxury and, when you really think about it, a medical marvel.  As humans, we rely heavily on our sense of sight to learn the world around us, to produce visual memories and to help keep us safe.

Our sense of sight is what we mostly use to educate ourselves, be it on the stage of the world, in a business setting, or in the classroom.  The problem arises when a person has inadequate vision and it hampers his ability to properly learn.  For example, if a vision- impaired person is sitting in a classroom trying to learn about a subject such as math but has trouble seeing the math problems on the chalkboard in the front of the room, they will be at a disadvantage.  Or, if a person is in a business meeting and is wearing glasses to see the presentation but has difficulty reading the statistics in the business portfolio on the table in front of him, he also would be at a disadvantage.

Rehabmart has a product that would benefit both students and businessmen alike who might need some assistance to see what they need to see, anywhere at anytime.  The SmartView Graduate Portable Video Magnifier is an electronic, versatile video magnifier and the perfect companion for any student or traveling professional.  The SmartView™ Graduate is ideally suited for those who need to see things on their desk as well as across the room and then afterwards have to pack up at the end of the class or meeting and go.

This device displays what is either across the room, or in a book on a table clearly on your laptop computer.  It gets its power from your laptop using two USB 2.0 cables, so it doesn't have to be near a wall outlet. You can use it just about anywhere you take your laptop because it is very lightweight, portable and won't be a burden on you when you have to pack up and go.  The SmartView Graduate splits into three main components that easily fit in your backpack or briefcase. Setup is quick, going from backpack to desk in under one minute.

The SmartView™ Graduate has the ability to magnify handouts and papers on your desk, or bring the blackboard, whiteboard, overhead presentation or speaker from across the room closer. It adapts to your needs quickly and easily, and can go back and forth between desk and distance effortlessly.  It can magnify up to 50X, so being able to see what the teacher is writing on the blackboard or being able to view the fine print on a business brief can come in very handy.

The SmartView Graduate can also work as a scanner by taking a snapshot of images and storing them on your laptop.  If you are in a hurry, you can simply time and date each picture to sort out later at your convenience.   It also has very easy computer keystroke commands to flip the image, freeze an image, and invoke high-contrast colors to read text, or save images where you want them on your computer.

So don't be left out anymore by poor eyesight.  Remember that what you see is what you get and you can get a better education or get ahead in business when you are able to see what needs to be seen with the SmartView Graduate!
