About SpectaColr
What is SpectaColr?
SpectaColr is designed to help color blind people in distinguishing and even recognizing colors they aren't able to see. Our main priority is convenience, which is why we made the app as lightweight as possible.
Which kinds of color blindess are supported?
Our app supports protanomaly, protanopia, deuteranomaly, deuteranopia, tritanomly and tritanopia. We will be adding support for types of color blindess really soon to increase inclusivity.
How does the app work?
The app uses pre-defined color matrices for different types of color blindness to adjust the camera preview. The color matrix applies a filter that makes it easy for colorblind people to distinguish and recognize colors on items on their camera preview
Who created the app?
We are a team of two high school students from India: Atiksh Mittal and Arav Dhoot. We have worked together collaboratively to create the app, webiste, user interface, and user experience. We will continue updating our app overtime.
