Redesign of the reading machine ‘MagniLink Voice’

Abstract: A reading machine from LVI which can scan and read a text for visual impaired people needed a redesign to stay competitive. This redesign is done by two students. The students made a specialized method to execute the redesign. They found out that the focus of the redesign should lay on: easy to use, reliable result and appealing for the user. With this taken in consideration the students achieved to design a more competitive reading machine. Prototypes where made for a new camera arm (which goes high enough to scan A3 format) and a new control panel. The students gave a recommendation how to continue with the project from now on.
