We Had No Eye-dea; The Effect of EnChroma Glasses on the Experience of Art and Color Vision
- Date Issued:
- 2019
- Abstract/Description:
- This study examined how the use of EnChroma glasses affects the color perception of individuals with color blindness. Differences in color vision were measured with the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Color Vision Test and the Ishihara test. The participants were individuals of varying ages with color blindness and individuals with normal color vision (matched by their age). I tested how the EnChroma glasses changed a colorblind individual’s viewing experience of color within images such as paintings and photographs. Fourteen images were selected, and for each image, the participant answered questions about the image focusing on the dynamics of color, aesthetics, and the overall engagement with the image. The EnChroma glasses improved the color discrimination in only of two out of the eight color blind participants.
