A community portal about Color blindness with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Color blindness, or color vision deficiency, in humans is the inability to perceive differences between some or all colors that other people can distinguish. It is most often of genetic nature, but may also occur because of eye, nerve, or brain damage, or due to exposure to certain chemicals. The English chemist John Dalton in 1798 published the first scientific paper on the subject, "Extraordinary facts relating to the vision of colours", after the realization of his own color blindness; because of Dalton's work, the condition is sometimes called Daltonism, although this term is now used for a type of color blindness called deuteranopia.
Zurich based Media Atelier today is proud to introduce Retina 1.0, their new color blindness helper for iPhone devices. Designed specifically to take advantage of the iPhone's unique capabilities and peerless interface, Retina helps color-blind users recognize colors by using the device's camera preview. By simply pointing the camera preview on any object, Retina provides a simple method to differentiate colors in a fast, efficient way.
