Examining the Explore 12 Low Vision Magnifier By HumanWare!

Welcome to another fantastic episode of Tech Connect! Today Luke will be showcasing the Explore 12, another great electronic magnifier by HumanWare! This low vision device has a massive 12 inch display and uses two 21 mega pixel cameras to provide up to 15 times magnification while in reading mode and up to 30 times magnification when used at distance. Its features include various color contrast modes, the ability to save images, toggle autofocus for handwriting, and its all held aloft by a sturdy stand which folds down to the size of a laptop for portability.

The inclusion of a stand really enhances this device's usefulness for tasks like handwriting and reading. The Explore 12 is especially useful when working with larger documents or reading for extended periods of time. Join Luke as he demonstrates all the ins and outs of this exiting low vision device from HumanWare!
