Let's get color blind

Simulates information a color blind person receives and/or adds a daltonization filter

What is Let's get color blind?

Let's get color blind is a Chrome extension designed to raise awareness of color vision deficiency by providing a mechanism to simulate various forms of colorblindness. By experimenting with different severities of color vision deficiencies, users can learn about colorblindness and improve web accessibility. Additionally, the extension features a daltonization filter aiming at enhancing color perception for color vision deficient individuals. Results may vary based on the severity of the individual's condition.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Color vision is unfortunately not granted to everyone. Approximately 10% are affected by a reduction in their ability to perceive colors. Let's get color blind tries to raise awareness by letting you simulate colorblindness. Such that you can easily experience the information a color blind person receives. Such that you can learn about colorblindness, check your web pages for accessibility or explain your condition to others. It is even possible to change the severity of the simulated condition.

Additionally a daltonization filter can be used to improve the information received by those who are subjected to colorblindness. Results may vary depending on the severeness of each individuals personal condition.

The color deviciency simulation is based on

Gustavo M. Machado, Manuel M. Oliveira, and Leandro A. F. Fernandes "A Physiologically-based Model for Simulation of Color Vision Deficiency". IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. Volume 15 (2009), Number 6, November/December 2009. pp. 1291-1298.
