Colour vision deficiency
Colour Vision Deficiency (henceforth referred to as ‘colour blindness’), is an optical condition that affects 8% of men and 0.5% of women in the world. Approximately 40% of sufferers are unaware of their condition, whilst 60% experience many problems in daily life.
Colour blindness is caused by a number of colour-perceiving cones in the eye being out of alignment. The majority of cases are hereditary, although the condition can also be acquired as a consequence of age, environmental factors, and chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
Project aim
The Team decided to carry out this Project with the aim to enhance the visual experience of colours for people suffering from colour blindness, improve their aesthetic quality of life, and increase personal safety and awareness of their surroundings.
