Mirror Assistant for colorblind: A Color Determining Application
Mirror Assistant for colorblind is a free Android application developed by denik under the category of Utilities & Tools. The program functions by showing and pronouncing the name of the object's color to which the smartphone camera is pointed. The rear camera detects the colors of surrounding objects, while the front camera can be used as a mirror to determine your complexion. The program determines the color components in the RGB color model and displays the name of the color, as well as the shade that applies. The application has the capacity of recognizing 1297 color names, including 100 shades of gray. It also enables the use of a text-to-speech engine to hear the names of colors. The program can determine the color continuously by timer or by tapping the screen, with the latter having higher accuracy. It can be used by color-blind individuals, people with differences in color perception, and designers. The application is seen as an extension for glasses like enchroma or computer glasses such as Google Glass.
