Synopsis: MagGlass is a user-friendly digital magnifying glass app with binocular-esque functionality designed for the visually impaired. My name is Stephane Lefebvre and I am a legally blind developer who has created an accessibility app tailored for individuals with vision impairments. My app, named MagGlass, serves as a digital magnifier. One setting in particular has significantly improved my independence, allowing me to cross streets without assistance as I am now able to see the walk/don’t walk signs. MagGlass is available on iOS and has been designed with a user-friendly interface, ensuring ease of use even for those new to digital accessibility tools.
