I'm at an entrepreneurship conference where the project owner (a designer) is an invited talker and i had the pleasure of also talking to him directly.
This system is already being implemented, not also here in Portugal (on subway/street signs, product labels, ink resellers and many more) but across Europe and Americas (Brasil), apparently.
Since i'm a developer, i immediately considered smartphone and possibly tablet applications and i hope we will brainstorm it soon :-) i found it a very exciting and valuable project, and a simple and effective solution to a complex problem (color blindness).
Augmented reality applications where the 1st thing to come to mind, which would be awesome! And there are more simple applications that may help not only color blinded people to learn the code, but also non-color blinded people to get over an apparently serious stigma [bullying] against color blinded people.
