New Web Tools for Color Blind Computer Users
A new approach to an old problem ...
"A researcher at the University of East Anglia is working on plug-in software that tweaks colors according to the type of color blindness of individual computer users.
The award allowed Jefferson to further develop his concept, FarbenTech, a technique to correct colors for color-blind computer users. He is interested in developing adaptive technologies for color vision deficient (CVD) observers by preserving color information by mapping colors based on the type and severity of the individual user’s condition. Jefferson’s research combines color imaging and human factors in order to develop assistive tools for CVD computer users. Jefferson is developing accessibility tools for designers to help them choose color combinations that are user friendly for color blind people. Color blindness is typically a genetic condition and it is much more common in men than in women. About one in twelve men has at least some color perception problems." continued ... (Via SAP INFO)
