Color blind camera

Features & Capabilities

From the perspective of a color blind person, Sim Daltonism visualizes colors as they appear under various color-blind conditions. Point your camera to see through red–green, blue–yellow, or monochromacy simulations, helping you understand how designs, photos, and drawings look to others.

The app is open source and can be used to improve accessibility, analyze color choices in art, and gain a better understanding of the world from a color-blind viewpoint. Note that simulations are approximations and may vary with lighting and camera calibration.

User Reviews

User reviews consistently praise Sim Daltonism for its simple, intuitive interface and fast performance. They value the accurate color-blind simulations across multiple conditions and use it as a crucial tool for designers, developers, and educators to test color palettes and understand user perspectives. Many appreciate how it helps non-color-blind users empathize with others and validate accessibility decisions. Some requests recur: importing from camera roll, labeling which color-blind type is active, and feature ideas like VR mode or non-human vision. Overall, it’s regarded as essential, reliable, and easy to use.

Pros

Easy to use and well-designed UI that makes color-blind viewing simple.
Accurate and reliable simulations for multiple color-blind types (protanomaly, deuteranomaly, tritanopia, etc.).
Excellent utility for developers and UX designers to test accessibility and ensure apps are usable by more people.
Helps users understand and empathize with how color-blind individuals perceive the world.
Fast frame rate and the ability to save or export simulated views for reference.

I’ve used Sim Daltonism for many years, to ensure that my apps are usable by as many folks as possible.

I was wondering if y’all can add an option for cat and dog vision, we already know they see less colors than us, the closest I can find to cat vision based on my research is protanomaly but it’s not exact, something like this would help with buying toys my cats will actually play with, plus I wana see the world through thier eyes
