The technology has been dubbed “Thousands of People and Thousands of Screens” and its unique bit is that it helps identify both the type and severity of a user’s color blindness. This characteristic has actually helped increase the ability of users to distinguish colors from 20% to 80%.
Li Sitong, product manager at OPPO, was invited today to the Tencent Technology Forum for Information Accessibility, where he demonstrated the company’s color vision detection technology, developed for people with color vision deficiency.
Data shows that 16% of the world population is currently colorblind, out of which it is 1 in every 12 males and 1 in every 200 females.
For this, OPPO has successfully developed a color vision enhancement technology and integrated the industry-recognized professional-level visual detection solution “Munsell Color Chess” into mobile phones for the first time. This has been integrated with the capabilities of the matrix mapping method. Based on the LMS color space, a set of detection algorithms that conform to the visual characteristics of the human eye have been constructed, which can meet the needs of most color-impaired people.

While the color vision enhancement tech was first unveiled with the OPPO Find X3 series, OPPO more recently completed the development of the 1000-person 1000-screen SDK and has opened it up for the entire industry. All kinds of hardware manufacturers and content providers can now use it on their products, which would be hugely beneficial for the color vision deficient.
Additionally, OPPO has also launched a few other unique accessibility features such as voice subtitles and barrier-free color modes.
