The camera enhances the ability to see the face of a loved one, look at a painting in a museum, photograph landscapes or create digital artwork. For visually challenged artists who may feel isolated from their visual world, the SMc provides an opportunity to connect to the people around them, enjoy a greater sense of independence and expand their creativity.
