专为色盲人士的app

    Microsoft has unveiled a new app that aims to help the colorblind distinguish between different colors, using an iPhone camera as the translator.

    Called Color Binoculars, the free iOS app from Microsoft Garage uses filters to adjust images based on three different kinds of colorblindness, allowing the differences and even the colors themselves to stand out.

    The tool could provide a much cheaper solution to help people see the world in fuller color, allowing them to appreciate the brilliant hues* of fall foliage or determine whether meat is finished cooking.

    Color Binoculars was first conceived for Microsoft’s 2015 Hackathon by software engineers Tom Overton and Tingting Zhu, and is now available for download through the App Store.

    The app uses filters and the iPhone’s camera to change the colors of the world around, with settings to enhance the views for red/green, green/red, and blue/yellow colorblindness.

    According to the creators, the app would allow color-blind users to pick out flowers, choose matching clothes, and differentiate between alerts on the screen.
