"Colorblind Goggles" gives the user the ability to simulate the eyes of a colourblind person, using your devices camera.

This app uses high performance image processing algorithms to simulate 4 kinds of colourblindness, and can show all of them at the same time for comparison. This means that youll get the smoothest video performance out of all competing colourblindness simulator apps.

The user can either use the front or back facing camera, and can save the resulting image to the Photo gallery.

This app is ideal for those that want to easily determine if their website or poster is colourblind friendly, simply by pointing their device at it.

The algorithms used in the image filters are derived from the colour matrices mentioned the academic publication that I co-authored: "Do you see what I see? -Understanding the challenges of colour-blindness in online learning"

Also included is a description of each type of colourblindness, for educational purposes.
