| Colorblindness is the decreased ability to perceive colors correctly, varying from reduced spectral sensitivity of 1 of 3 retinal photoreceptors, through color vision reduced to only two dimensions, up to being completely unable to distinguish colors. Ishihara plates are the most widely used tool for detecting colorblindness, mainly due to their simplicity and low cost, although that they allow detecting only certain types of color vision disorders (CVD) and obtained results may be ambiguous. More accurate methods are less available due to their cost or complexity.Being properly diagnosed is not only important because of professional reasons but also everyday quality of life or even safety. All of these facts motivates the need for development new, low-cost and easy to use CVD detection method. This paper presents results of a pilot research on new computer-based CVD detection method, designed as an aid for screening tests on large groups of patients. Each diagnosis is based on analysis of user decisions and actions made while playing simple computer games. Each game is divided into four phases: introductory (used to explain game rules), initial (for detecting potential CVD), specifying (using diagnosis from previous phase to differentiate between dichromacy and anomalous trichromacy) and confirming (corroborating the final diagnosis). Computer games were chosen as a testing tool in order to minimize influence of external factors and to increase user involvement in the whole process. The experiment results (discussed in the paper) prove the system to be a useful tool for detecting color vision disorders, although it requires additional work on determining andcorroborating the values for acceptance threshold and lie scale. |
