Researchers Develop Magnifying Smartphone Screen Application for Visually
  Impaired
From: Medical Design Technology - 04/22/2016

Researchers from the Schepens Eye Research Institute of Massachusetts Eye and
Ear/Harvard Medical School have 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 have 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.
