Abstract
This work proposes the use of mobile computer cameras as an alternative assistive technology for people who do not read easily. It attempts to explore mobile camera software options to improve readability, making use of well known reading filters concepts. A proof of concept of this work is demonstrated by the implementation and demonstration of a mobile application prototype that applies various real-time filters to the viewfinder.
