User reviews

FANTASTIC App

An example of great interface design - simple to use and with great utility.

This has helped me understand how family members see the world.

Thank you developers - great job.

Essential Development Tool

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

A suggestion

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

“Eye” opening

I have a child who is colorblind and I’ve always wondered what the world looks like through his eyes. Now I can see exactly that! I had him test it for me to make sure the colors lined up with what he sees, and for deuteranomoly, it is spot on!

I'm glad this is still available

This is a crucial tool for anyone who wants to understand, well, anything. Our default is ourselves and everything we do in order to stretch the view? Hallelujah! That means if the "only" thing someone begins to understand is unique between them and another person is color and other differences in visual perception *and* they should make accommodations their worldview may shift. - — - I didn’t write that metaphorically but because a huge part of our brains are dedicated to vision it’s hard to not be metaphorical and literal.

FAQ

What does Sim Daltonism do?

Sim Daltonism allows you to see the world through the perspective of someone with various types of color blindness. By pointing your camera at objects, the app simulates how colors are perceived by individuals with different color vision deficiencies.

What types of color blindness can it simulate?

The app can simulate several forms of color blindness, including red-green deficiencies like Deuteranopia, Deuteranomaly, Protanopia, and Protanomaly. It also simulates blue-yellow deficiencies such as Tritanopia and Tritanomaly, as well as complete color blindness (Monochromacy) and partial monochromacy.

Is Sim Daltonism accurate?

The colors shown are an approximation, as color blindness varies greatly from person to person. The simulator cannot represent everyone's vision perfectly, and factors like camera white point calibration can affect results. However, it serves as a valuable tool for gaining a better understanding of color blindness.

Who would benefit from using this app?

This app is beneficial for designers looking to improve the accessibility of their visual designs, parents wanting to understand their child's drawings better, and anyone curious about experiencing the world from the perspective of a color blind individual.

Is there a cost to use Sim Daltonism?

No, Sim Daltonism is completely free to use. It is also open source, meaning its code is publicly available.
