[Athen] Portable CCTV

[Hausler,Jesse]

Hi Ella,

We purchased a Humanware Graduate for one of our low vision students. It hooks into the laptop through USB.  It doubles as a distance camera and a video magnifier.

It's also very light weight and portable.  Our only gripe is that the picture is a bit more grainy then we would prefer.
