Visual Impairment Simulator for Windows

Developed by a senior design computer science student group at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, Visual Impairment Simulator is an educational tool that can be used to inform computer users about what it is like to use a computer with a disability.

When the program runs, it manipulates the images on the user's screen so that it seems like the user has a visual impairment such as colorblindness or macular degeneration among others. The user will be able to pick which visual impairment to use and the severity of the impairment.
