SmartView 360 now shipping -
the electronic magnifier that provides a clear view in all directions 
HumanWare announces that it has started shipping the SmartView 360, 
introduced earlier in November. The SmartView 360 features an integrated, 
rotating camera that is easily positioned to magnify images. The SmartView 
360 is the perfect solution to help people with low-vision, regardless of 
age, clearly see the world around them.

Easy to use, easy to see... for students
to seniors
The SmartView 360 will help students view text in a book with its variety of 
contrast colors. If they need to view the blackboard or presentation screen, 
they can simply twist the camera for a full-color image. Seniors will find 
the SmartView 360 especially helpful for everyday uses such as reading 
instructions, books and mail, and for personal tasks such as applying 
make-up and styling hair.


"We were very excited to introduce the SmartView 360 for the first time 
publicly at the ATIA Conference in Chicago. I'm glad to say that we had some 
excellent feedback from special education teachers and students of all ages 
who came by our booth to try the SmartView 360. They found out firsthand how 
easy it is to use. We wanted to offer to low-vision students a tool they can 
simply plug in and work with. This one is practically intuitive. It's smart 
and simple at the same time," says Gilles Pepin, CEO of HumanWare.
