Description
“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.

Ratings and Reviews
Game changer.
This app is amazing. We only found out our 10yo son is colourblind this week. I was distraught! Couldn’t get my head round it (he is strong Protan). This app totally changed things for me! I’ve been using it to check out what clothes look like to him online before buying. I selfie myself to see how I look to him in what I’m wearing. (I am shocked that skin is grey). I’ve put in photos from days out at beauty spots and am relieved these places looked beautiful to him too - just different. I now know he sees blue and yellow, and then mostly varying shades of brown and grey! How we and teachers have not picked up on it I do not know!!! This app has helped his friends to understand and I think (hope) his teacher will use it too.
Honestly I am addicted to it!!!!! I have taken photos of everything in the house!!! The only thing of course is I don’t know where to place the slider really but it doesn’t matter if what I am seeing is not identical. It gives me a close idea and for that I cannot thank you enough. I went from feeling utterly distressed to high as a kite within minutes of using this app. THANK YOU!!!!
Really useful app
This app is so helpful. I'm a teacher and it makes it really easy to check if my resources are fully accessible to colour-blind students. I recommend this to everyone, and I'm yet to find someone who isn't fascinated by it! I wish it was available on other devices so I could use it with the larger screen of my Windows tablet.
Very Useful Live View
Have been trying to pick paint for a while now and have been struggling to find something both me and my partner like. Being able to give this app to my partner with the protan filter activated was really incredibly helpful so that she could understand the colours I see.
