This is a really smart insight regarding seniors. So often technology is something that leaves the elderly behind, but occasionally something wonderful and unexpected happens as a side effect.

Specifically, I'm thinking of eReaders ability to adjust font sizes and the 'magic' side effect of making every book a large print edition.

I could see similar outcomes with augmented vision glasses: magnifying modes for reading menus, high contrast adjustments for when it's dark, etc.
