## What is PMag?

PMag is the missing app that all visually-impaired user would like to have on their devices. It simulates all of the specific (and specialized) features of a real and expensive optic magnifiers for low-vision people.

There are case where the low-vision is to severe that a user could have necessity to magnify some objects with VoiceOver still running. PMag is totally accessible with VoiceOver!

PMag's features are as follows:
* Normal mode;
* Black and White mode;
* 14 false-color high-contrast schemes; 
* Max zoom factor as allowed by device in use;
* Real time brightness, contrast and sharpness control;
* Real time exposure and focus tuning;
* Torch (if available);

Gestures to manipulate parameters are quite simple:
* Swipe left/right with one finger to change parameter type (brightness, contrast and sharpness);
* Swipe up/down with one finger to increase/decrease current parameter value;
* Rotate two fingers to go through the 14 false-color schemes;
* Pinch in/out with two fingers to zoom out/in;
* Tap with one finger to focus at the screen center;
* When VoiceOver is active tapping once with two fingers you can listen the current magnifier state;
