The mini-hand-videocamera of VideoTIM has a built-in white light to illuminate a document. The electronic of VideoTIM automatically works out the
ideal brightness.
The picture you look at with the mini-hand-videocamera will be projected in realtime. That means 24 pictures per second are shown on the tactile
display “TIM”. The functions of the three buttons above the tactile display are to zoom in or out, choose the right contrast or to invertate. With the hand on top of the VideoTIM device you can adjust your
individual bightness - this makes e.g. letters bigger or smaller..
The VideoTIM-Display has an excellent tactile quality. Any pixel can be located exactly. TIM has an array of 256 pixels and a size of 4 x 4 cm.
The dotspace is 2.5 mm.
The user puts one hand on the VideoTIM-display. He can change between active and passive recognition. Active recognition means moving the hand
over the tactile dots and the fingercups recognice the details. The picture appears as a relief. The passive recognition uses the TPS - the Tactile Projection System by ABTIM. The soft knocking dots stimulate
pictures onto the skin of the fingers.
