A portable user vision-enhancement system comprising:
- a memory including a stored program;
- a camera mounted to view a scene in front of a user and operable to obtain input video images of a scene;
- a processor programmed to execute the stored program to transform the input video images of the scene into a stream of output video images of the scene wherein each output video image has a magnification bubble that enlarges a portion of the output video image of the scene within a peripheral portion of the scene;
- wherein the magnification bubble has variable attributes where the processor is programmed to vary attributes of the magnification bubble including at least one of the position of the magnification bubble, a size of the magnification bubble, a shape of the magnification bubble, and a magnification power of the magnification bubble, in the scene in the stream of output video images in response to an input signal;
- and
- a digital display disposed to be viewed by the user that displays the output video images.
