Augmented reality visual rendering device

A magnification rendering apparatus, comprising:

• a magnification control for selecting a magnitude of magnification;
• a plurality of magnification levels, each magnification level defining a range of the magnification;
• a mapping of magnification magnitude to the defined magnification levels;
• and
• a rendering medium corresponding to each of the magnification levels for rendering a display mage of a magnified subject on a user display based on the magnification magnitude and the mapped magnification level.

A computer program product on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of method of rendering a magnified interactive image of educational media, the method comprising:

• identifying a plurality of magnification levels;
• assigning, to each identified magnification level, a rendering medium
• receiving an input indicative of a desired subject for observation;
• receiving an input indicative of a magnification magnitude;
• mapping the magnification magnitude to a magnification level;
• and
• employing the rendering medium corresponding to the mapped magnification level for displaying the desired subject.
