Marc Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi all, Here yet again with another update that will be going live shortly. Sometime over the coming weeks there will be an update to your user settings. This will include a new feature for the wearers of glasses and contact lenses. To use the feature you will need to find out (unless you already know) what your perscription is and set these up as an option in your settings. How this works: Well we all know that when your eyesight starts to go a little, it causes blur when looking at objects, and also text. So therefore if you look at the screen without your glasses, obviously you are going to see blurred text often to the degree that you cannot read what is on the screen. The new feature basically does the opposite to what your eyes do and is extremely new technology. The direct opposite to the blur that you see will be applied to all the text you see on the forum, enabling you to view the forum content without the need for any other visual aid whatsoever. I'm extremely happy to say that our site (along with a few others) has been asked to test this product for a very well known internet orgranisation that will be selling this for thousands of dollars. As such, when the technology emerges onto the markets we will be given a lifetime licence for the product completely free of charge. I hope you enjoy this new addition (unless you are lucky enough not to need it obviously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
