Virtual Magnifying Glass is a free, open-source screen magnifier designed to assist users with visual impairments or those who need to zoom into specific areas of their screen. Unlike traditional magnifiers that open in a separate window, Virtual Magnifying Glass provides a movable magnifying lens that overlays directly onto the screen, allowing users to zoom into areas around the mouse cursor. This approach offers a more intuitive and seamless experience for magnification tasks.
