Release:&nbsp;&nbsp;November 8, 2004</i> <br><br> <b>Pico Video Magnifier Wins Prestigious Optics Award </b><br><br> <i>Hand-held Pico beats out other low vision technologies to win the French Silmo D Or Prize </i><br><br> </font> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"> <b>Sunnyvale, CA </b>Telesensory Corporation announced today that the hand-held Pico video magnifier, revered for its small size and ergonomic design, was the winner of the 2004 French Silmo D'Or Grand Prix. The Silmo D Or award is one of the most prestigious awards in the optics industry and rewards originality and quality control. <br><br> Companies representing an array of optics products attended the Grand Prix. Telesensory s Pico came out on top among the low vision product nominees. Pico has been one of the company s most popular offerings. The portable Pico is designed to assist people with low vision conditions such as macular degeneration by magnifying text and photos. <br><br> "This award is a testament to our engineering team, who, with Pico, have developed a portable device that has been designed with quality ergonomics, aesthetics, and features in mind," said Telesensory CEO Ken Stokes. <br><br> Pico, with its sleek, lightweight, design enables people with low vision to carry the device with them anywhere. Weighing only ten ounces, and just over one-inch thick, the Pico fits easily in a pocket or purse. Its versatile folding legs allow users to vary magnification from 3X to 11X original size. Also, Pico s rubber hand grips provide ergonomic handling. <br><br> <b>Company Background</b><br> Telesensory is the largest worldwide developer and manufacturer of electronic and computer-based products to assist people who are blind or have low vision.
