What the rather senior lady on the right is wearing is the JORDY (Joint Optical Reflective Display) advanced magnifier from Enhanced Vision, helping those with low vision to view objects from afar, featuring up to 30x magnification complete with auto-focus capabilities. It isn’t exactly the most stylish of equipment, but hey, if it works, the design refinement will only make things better in future iterations. I can already think of a great way to use this – get a cheap seat at the end of a packed stadium at Euro 2008, and watch as it I was sitting from a grandstand position. Features include four viewing modes (full-color, black and white, high-contrast positive and negative), 30X magnification (50x with the optional desktop), a built-in lighting system, auto-focus and digital zoom.
