Introducing Nokia Magnifier

   

 

The team over at Nokia Betalabs just released this a few minutes ago.

The Nokia Magnifier application utilizes the existing camera functionality on your Nokia S60 phone. It can be used to improve readability in life’s every-day situations. Reading the “fine print” has never been easier. Just point and click and life’s small details come into focus. Nokia Magnifier utilizes a built in stabilizer to reduce the effects of a shaky hand when getting in close to text or object and negative filter technology which allows users to switch from light to dark backgrounds to improve readability. By using the existing camera technology, users can also snap a picture of the enhanced image for later reference.

Here’s a video introducing you to Nokia Magnifier :

While Nokia Magnifier works on the N95, N95 8G, N82, E90 it does not work with camera phones that do not have a camera with auto zoom feature. It does NOT work on the E71, N85, N96 and 5800 XpressMusic.

If you own a compatible device, try the application and tell us what you think.
