Freeverse zooms in on App Store with Eye Glasses Magnifying App for iPhone


BROOKLYN, NY--Sept. 29, 2009 -- Freeverse, a leading developer and publisher for the iPhone and iPod Touch, today announced the release of Eye Glasses, an iPhone application that clearly displays objects that are too small to make out - from fine print to photo details. Whether at the DMV or the doctor's office, Eye Glasses helps bring life into focus!

Eye Glasses uses the iPhone 3GS autofocusing camera to clearly display text or imagery. To use Eye Glasses, users choose between four different levels of magnification, from 2x, 4x, 6x or 8x, point the iPhone camera at the item, and see it magnified on the screen as the camera sharpens the image.

If you're shy about not being able to see as well as you'd like, Eye Glasses helps you discreetly read the fine print using your iPhone. The app is ideal for farsighted individuals, those with reading glasses or bifocals, senior citizens and anyone that just needs to see more clearly.

Eye Glasses is now available in the Apple App Store for $2.99. Visit here to download or read more here on our website.
