Sim Daltonism 1.1.1
Device: Mac OS
Category: Education
Price: Free, Version: 1.1 -> 1.1.1 (iTunes)
Description:Sim Daltonism is a color blindness simulator. It filters in real-time the area around the mouse pointer and displays the result “as seen by a color blind person” in a floating palette.
Since there are many types of color blindness, Sim Daltonism allow you to choose the one you want to see. Available filters are:
- Monochromacy (complete)
- Monochromacy (partial)
Complete or partial inability to distinguish colors. This color blindness is pretty rare.
- Protanopia (complete red-green)
- Protanomaly (partial red-green)
Complete or partial inability to see using long-wavelength sensitive retinal cones making hard to distinguish between colors in the green-yellow-red section of the spectrum.
- Deuteranopia (complete red-green)
- Deuteranomaly (partial red-green)
Complete or partial inability to see using middle-wavelength sensitive retinal cones making hard to distinguish between colors in the green-yellow-red section of the spectrum. This is the most common form of color blindness.
- Tritanopia (complete blue-yellow)
- Tritanomaly (partial blue-yellow)
Complete or partial inability to see using short-wavelength sensitive retinal cones making hard to distinguish between colors in the blue-yellow section of the spectrum.
Note that I do not claim to have perfect or near-perfect color blindness simulation filters. This depends on correct screen calibration and other factors I cannot control.
This application is offered freely in an attempt to allow myself and other to ensure web and other designs are usable by color blind people.
What's New
- Fixed a problem that would prevent Sim Daltonism from launching on OS X 10.6 and 10.7.
