Abstract: Disclosed is a portable magnifier camera that can be selectively positioned into a variety of configurations. At least four distinct viewing configurations are provided: a reading mode wherein the camera rests flatly upon the viewed object; a writing mode wherein the camera rests at an angle upon the viewed object; a hand-held mode wherein the user holds the camera relative to a distant object; and an inspection mode wherein the user holds the viewed object relative to the camera. These configurations enable a user to effectively view objects of differing size and at varying distances.

Abstract: An optical text scanning device compatible with a small handheld computer such as a personal digital assistant (PDA). The scanning device allows for a clear view of the text that is scanned simultaneous to the scanning process so that the operator can continuously align the device to the text. The scanned images of the text are converted in real-time to standard byte or word characters for subsequent display on the computer's viewing screen. The operator can quickly verify the accuracy of the conversion by comparing the displayed character with the actual character of text on the surface that is being scanned. Scanned text characters are stored in standard digital text files for ease of manipulation.

Abstract: An apparatus for viewing originals in a flatbed scanner includes a fixed copy holder and a movable scanning unit with a light source for illuminating the original to be scanned, an optoelectronic transducer, and a scanning lens for projecting a scanned line of the original onto the optoelectronic transducer. Fitted below the copy holder is a light source, and fastened on the scanning unit is a dispersion foil drawn under the copy holder by the scanning unit when the scanning unit is brought into a parking position and drawn away by the scanning unit when the scanning unit is moved over the copy holder during scanning. The dispersion foil is stretched tight by a suitable stretching apparatus when the scanning unit is in the parking position.

Abstract: Disclosed are several embodiments of panning and zooming devices that may assist individuals with low vision. The present invention employs imaging devices that capture an image and then select a smaller portion of the image for full display. The size of the selected portion of the captured image determines the magnification that is achieved. Further, different portions of the captured image can be selected to provide for panning of the image. In this fashion, a stationary mounted camera can be used which allows an image to be both panned and zoomed. Further, automated techniques can be used for panning and zooming control. Small aperture optics are used so that images can be focused for a large depth of field which allows the present invention to be employed without the necessity for using expensive optical focusing techniques. Electrical zooming and panning also allows the device of the present invention to be employed for both writing on and reading a document. Any desired types of displays such as cathode ray tube displays, flat panel displays, projection displays, etc. can be employed. Also disclosed is an electronic telescope/microscope that provides a bright image that can be zoomed to provide different magnifications. Another embodiment utilizes eyewear having displays mounted in front of the users eyes and a camera mounted on the eyewear. A large field of view allows the user to pan the image captured by the camera so that the user does not have to utilize head movements to direct the image that is displayed on the eyewear. A mechanical support is also disclosed that utilizes rollers to allow the user to position a camera at a predetermined height over a document and to physically pan across the document. The camera can employ a zoom controller to adjust the size of the image.

Abstract: Collage making apparatus for assisting in the production of a collage by duplication apparatus may comprise a layout area contained within the collage making apparatus. The layout area accommodates at least one object that is to be contained in the collage. The collage making apparatus is convertible between a layout mode and a duplication mode. During the layout mode, the layout area is observable by a user so that the user may observe an arrangement of the at least one object within the layout area. During the duplication mode, the layout area is reproducible by the duplication apparatus so that the duplication apparatus produces a copy of the arrangement of the at least one object within the layout area.
