AdityaKar 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Lucas Electronic Magnifier This half bottle shaped gadget is rather fun and unique. Its the Lucas Electronic Magnifier which magnifies text or images and shows it on your television. Put a newspaper or a book under it, connect it with the TV and see the magnified image on your television. Lucas features a 1/4″ CCD color camera and a control to handle magnification ratio. However, the ratio also varies with the size of television.The Lucas is made up of acrylic resin, aluminum and glass lens for camera. The price tag is $329 for the whole set which comes with the magnifier, AC adaptor and an instruction manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarah81 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Neat idea - not worth over $300 to me, but I can think of plenty of people who would use something like this. Judging by the photo, it looks like the text is SUPER-huge, so older people with failing vision - like my grandma - probably wouldn't have any problems reading even the stock pages in the newspaper with this. Sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aimeemayonnaise 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Nice idea, although I probably wouldn't use it I'm sure there are many people that would benefit from this (such as people with sight problems). I like the fact that you can change how much it magnifies the text or whatever's underneath it. $329 is a bit too pricey for me though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opethian 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2006 Actually, I agree. $329??? Come on guys, that's just too much, only scientists will be able to afford that, and there are even better alternatives out there, like creating your own! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
