SuperVision for cardboard 1.1.0

SuperVision is a sophisticated magnification application designed to assist visually impaired individuals, utilizing Google Cardboard technology. It can function independently as a portable electronic magnifier or in conjunction with a Google Cardboard unit, transforming it into electronic glasses. This versatility makes it beneficial for a broad spectrum of users experiencing various vision impairments, including presbyopia, myopia, and macular diseases, enhancing their daily activities.

The application provides intuitive controls for adjusting the zoom, contrast, and color modes of the displayed image. It supports three natural color models and six synthetic ones, catering to diverse reading preferences. Additionally, for users who require visualization in low-light settings, SuperVision enables the smartphone's flash feature to illuminate the viewing area.

Upon activation of the control buttons, users will encounter several options arranged from left to right:

• Contrast: Adjusts the image contrast with dedicated buttons.
• Cardboard Mode: Toggle between cardboard mode and smartphone mode.
• Reset: Restores configurations to default values while maintaining settings for cardboard and bifocal modes.
• Flash: Enables or disables the flash for dark environments.
• Color Mode: Switches between various color modes (three natural colors and six synthetic colors tailored for reading).
• Pause: Freezes the current image for analysis.
• Bifocal Mode: Designed for tasks requiring both distance and close-up focus. The application manages two settings—far view and near/reading view—automatically adjusting based on device orientation. Users can easily alternate between viewing conditions by shifting their gaze, and the application remembers these setups for seamless transitions.

SuperVision is developed by the Mobile Vision Research Lab in collaboration with Neosistec and is partially funded by Generalitat Valenciana and MIMECO. Appreciation is extended to VI associations ONCE and RetiMur for their valuable contributions to this project.
