Seeing Through a Different Pair of Eyes

Yes, color blindness again. For some reason, it intrigues me! The idea that certain people are seeing the world through a vastly different set of lenses is something I cannot imagine. Okay, I can imagine the idea, but I can't imagine the life.

For instance, check out the images below. The first shows normal vision, while the second shows a dichromat vision simulation.





They came from a site called Vischeck, which even MORE interestingly (hard to imagine, right?), has a Photoshop plug-in that will filter your image to simulate 3 types of color blindness. Otherwise, right on their site is an area to type in a url (or upload an image) and view it as a color blind simulation.

So check it out - how does your favorite site look through these lenses?
