Re: modified webcam software for visually impaired

[Helios <heliooos gmail com>]

Hi Patrick,
first, in fact, digital zoom is not as much needed feature as the
webcam can provide the magnification directly by simply moving the
device more closer to the text.
second, I think that using Cheese together with Gnome magnifier
together would be memory and CPU hungry and would take the most
computing resources of common machines. If someone would find such
feature useful, than it would be better to include "Digital zoom"
feature in Cheese, where the program would simply cut the center area
of each frame and then interpolate it to lets say double resolution
for instance.

regards

Helios
