• Accommodating Color Blind Computer Users

  Luke Jefferson, Richard Harvey (2006) — Proceedings of the 8th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '06)

  This paper from the University of East Anglia presents an algorithm for recoloring digital images and documents so that color information is preserved for color blind viewers, particularly dichromats (people missing one type of cone cell). The algori…

• "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…
