Project description

CVD helper is a solution for colour vision deficiency affected people. CVD also known as colour blindness is a condition that affects nearly 300 million people in the world. The solution we made is a device that is hand worn in a form of a bracelet. By a gentle touch of an object, the device will identify the colour and name it out loud. 

The CVD helper is a device that will solve a problem affecting a big portion of the community. It will save the CVD affected people from many confusing situations where they are unable to react to colour coded instructions.
