“Chromatic Vision Simulator” is a color vision simulation tool which simulates the color vision of color vision deficiencies. This software is developed by Kazunori Asada (Ph.D. medical science and Ph.D. media design), based on the research in color science. About 5% of men have difficulty distinguishing red and green, or recognizing dark red. Such color deficiency can be classified into three major categories: protanope / Protanomal, Deuteranope / Deuteranomal and Tritanope / Tritanomal. Color deficiencies are the inability to tell differences between some colors other people can easily distinguish. People with different types of color vision deficiency perceive colors differently. For example, individuals diagnosed as Protan or Deutan cannot perceive differences between red and green, and pink and cyan. These color visions are predictable by calculating working of the cone cells that perceives the color to some degree. "Chromatic Vision Simulator" makes simulated images of each color vision type from built-in Camera or Photos and shows you how people with specific types of color vision sees the world in real-time.

Fish have different views of colors then we do. To help see what your lures look like to them, just use the Fishin' Vision camera. I'm a fisherman not a developer so bare with me as I update and polish the app. Right now it functions, (for bass to start since they are my favorite) but I want more fish and animals and am working on creating the filters that match what they see based on each ones eye structure that causes them to see the color spectrum differently then we do. Everything from your camo to your favorite lure looks different to the game, and I want us to have the ability to see it that way so we can make the correct decision when choosing color patterns based on conditions in the field and on the water that maximize our success.
