Vr camera

Can you please make it so you can do split screen on one colorblind filter for vr?

Simply doesn’t work

The protanomaly and deuteranomaly filters don’t work whatsoever - they just give you a black screen. What’s the point of the app if they can’t even get basic features to operate?

Pretty Darn Cool

My friend is monochromatic and I always wondered what it would be like to live in his world for a day. Thanks to this app, I was able to experience that and I was able to sympathize with him. A great app overall!!

Videos

The app is ok but it doesn’t allow me to take videos which is what I downloaded the app for but apart from that it’s great

Extremely Helpful!

This app is an extremely useful tool for designers who want/need to accommodate users who might be colorblind. Just select the “vision version(s)” you want from the lower-left corner of the screen and compare!
