Chrovision and True Colour: Applications for Colour Impaired Persons

Colour blindness is due to the absence or defect in colour photoreceptors with the most popular being Deuteranopes who cannot perceive green, whilst Protanopes cannot perceive red. In this research we present Chrovision, a smartphone application that adjusts images based on a user preference to assist in daily operations. We also present True Colour, a second application that identifies a colour of an object that the user is currently focusing on. After presenting our solutions to a number of colour-impaired individuals we gathered user feedback and are presenting our findings here. It is our believe that such solutions will become even more popular with the increase of smart facial wear and are confident that they greatly help improve the quality of life for such individuals.
