Re: Low Vision Simulation

Birkir:

I believe VisionSim only works with camera mode; in other words, I use it
on my iPhone to take a photo and see the results of that simulated low
vision disability. However, I will keep looking for something that
operates like VisCheck ( http://www.vischeck.com/vischeck/ ) where it takes
a URL and displays the results that way.



Thanks,
Elle
