Hi, My son has scotomas in his central vision and uses a monocular to view the blackboard during college lectures. It is a challenge to view the board and take notes simultaneously. I'm aware that there may be solutions involving a camera and laptop but he feels this will be too difficult to manage during class while also taking notes.
Is anyone on this list aware of an iPad-based solution? I think it would look something like this: - A small video camera connects to an iPad app by cable or Wifi. The camera might need to be mounted or positioned some distance (1 meter) away from the viewer and it is needs to be wide angle enough to cover the entire blackboard area. - An app on the iPad would present the video image in real-time, and allow the user to zoom in and capture images from the video. Ideally, it would be possible to assemble the captured images in real-time and take notes as well. I spoke to a friendly Apple store staff member who suggested that it might be possible to use an iPhone + iPad combination + FaceTime. I tried this out but the image quality is not good enough and there is no zoom capability with the video. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -Bob Barcklay -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
