It simulates all of the specific (and specialized) features of a real and expensive optic magnifiers for low-vision people.

L’app include funzionalità avanzate come: - indicazione vocale della posizione del tag nell’inquadratura; - mantenimento automatico del focus; - torcia dinamica per ottimizzare la visibilità e ridurre il consumo della batteria; DotMyWay può essere utilizzata in ambienti pubblici e privati, contribuendo a rendere gli spazi più accessibili e facili da esplorare in autonomia.
