ONYX Family of Magnifiers: Finding the Right Fit for Work, School, and Home (ACVREP CE Approved, Assistive Technology Webinar)

The ONYX family of video magnifiers combines ease of use with powerful yet portable features to help people retain their independent lifestyle with reading, writing, viewing photographs, and engaging in hobbies. Did you know there are three different ONYX models? The ONYX Deskset and ONYX OCR offer larger screens and can adapt to multiple environments and tasks for productivity at school, work, and home. In particular, the ONYX Deskset has become a favorite among Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs) for its effectiveness in classroom settings. Modern cameras produce high-definition images with color-coded controls and adjustable magnification, making everyday tasks more manageable and comfortable. During this webinar, Ian and Joe will walk through the features and benefits of each ONYX model and help attendees understand which solution fits their specific situation best. Join Ian Ramos from Access Ingenuity and Joe McDaniel from Vispero as they dive deep into these powerful tools to help those challenged by vision loss. Note that everybody is welcome and can benefit from this presentation. If you are a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI), ACVREP continuing education credit is approved for this presentation.
