Researchers from the Schepens Eye Research Institute of Massachusetts Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School occupy developed a smartphone application that projects a magnified smartphone screen to Google Glass,which users can navigate using head movements to view a corresponding portion of the magnified screen. They occupy shown that the technology can potentially benefit low-vision users, many of whom find the smartphone's built-in zoom feature to be difficult to use due to the loss of context. Their results are published online in the journal IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering.
