FarbAR – Augmented Reality for the dynamic mitigation of colour vision deficiencies

Colour vision deficiencies such as red-green vision disorders are a widespread type of vision deficiency that is currently not medically treatable. In order to reduce colour vision deficiencies, spectacles with colour correction lenses are used, which optically adjust the light spectrum. However, the perception of the entire visual field of vision is altered, i.e. also areas that do not require correction. The aim of Professor Sedlmair's research is to find out how AR devices can be used for dynamic and precise attenuation of colour vision deficiencies.

Using video see-through head-mounted displays, new technical possibilities are being developed that allow the spectrum of the incident light to be changed dynamically, locally and in a targeted manner.
