• Learning and Perceiving Colors Haptically

  Kanav Kahol, Jamieson French, Laura Bratton, Sethuraman Panchanathan (2006) — Proceedings of the 8th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '06)

  This paper presents a novel system for enabling blind individuals to learn, perceive, and compare colours through haptic (touch-based) feedback. Colour is a purely visual feature that cannot be perceived through auditory or olfactory senses, yet it p…

• "So That's What You See": Building Understanding with Personalized Simulations of Colour Vision Deficiency

  David R. Flatla, Carl Gutwin (2012) — Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2012)

  This paper presents a personalized colour vision deficiency (CVD) simulation method that shows people with normal colour vision what a specific individual with CVD actually sees, rather than relying on generic models. Existing simulation tools like V…
