Vischeck simulates what an image/website looks like to a color blind person

• unwind 16y ago
  Could someone please fix the typo in the title? I think that "bling" should really be "blind".

  Interesting idea, but the website feature appears to not work with links.

    Or even images. Better to take a screenshot of the site and check that.

      It works with some images, but not others. At first glance, it looks like maybe it just doesnt support PNG.
      • metageek 16y ago
        I found the problem: it works iff the HTML uses an absolute URL for the image.

  @vischeck.com, I have two suggestions to make more people want to try your online tool: 1. Put some basic stats next to the options for Deuteranope and Protonope. Percentage of general population affected would be good. 2. Let people enter an image URL as an alternative to uploading. Better still, and I appreciate that this would be more complicated, let people enter a web-page URL, grab a screenshot of that web page, and process the screenshot.

    You can enter a URL -- it wasn't obvious to me at first either. On the left hand sidebar, click on "Run Webpages". They have a disclaimer about not picking up everything from stylesheets correctly but it did a good job with our website.

      Ah yes I missed that, thanks. From a usability perspective I think it would make sense to combine those two tools into one.

  I'm thinking this could be an iPhone or Android App? You just point your phone to any scenery and it renders it into the color blind format?
