Computational Trichromacy Reconstruction


This is the website for the UIST 2024 paper Computational Trichromacy Reconstruction:Empowering the Color-Vision Deficient to Recognize ColorsUsing Augmented Reality. We provide three Web demos, showing the basic idea behind the paper.

Rotation Demo

This demo allows you to rotate colors about the gray-axis in the linear sRGB space. You can see how rotation makes initially indistinguishable distinct. The effect of rotation is visualized in sRGB, CIELab, and the xy-chromaticity diagram. Both the colors seen by the trichromats and dichromats (simulated) as visualized.

Discrimination Through Rotation Demo

This is a 4AFC color discrimination test. It show how color-space rotation allows dichromats to discriminate otherwise confusing colors. We use a standard staircase, 1-up-2-down procedure.

Mobile App

This is the mobile Web app that our participants used in the study. There are two versions: one with simulation and the other without simulation. You need to open them from a mobile browser (e.g., on your smartphone), but many desktop browsers have emulation mode for mobile devices that you can use. On a phone, you can swipe your finger on the screen to induce the color-space rotation.
