Hongdee Anti-Blur Technology (HABT™)
With the discovery of Video Magnifiers, the life quality of people with low
vision changed dramatically, as the first thing we care about is products’
image quality. Keeping a clear image with Unsteady Hands & Fast
Viewing is really what we need when reading.
Different video magnifiers perform in extremely different ways; however,
most video magnifiers lessen image perfection, leading to ghosting,
blurring, flickering and flashing, which can easily make viewers dizzy or
even sick.
As the largest “Low vision solution provider” (LVSP) in China, Hongdee is
determined to carry out an imaging revolution for video magnifiers.
“Hongdee Anti-Blur” technology has been developed and built to solve all
the stickyproblems.
Take “Hongdee Anti-Blur” video magnifiers and enjoy a clearer world.
Your eyes will be naturally attracted to it. Wherever you are, whatever you
see, this is Hongdee Anti-Blur technology（HABT™）!
