Smart HDMI adaptor helps color blind population

UK-based company, Spectral Edge, has developed a device called Eye2TV - a new smart HDMI adaptor that will help the color blind population better enjoy TV and gaming. The company claims that Eye2TV will enhance the video feature by helping to make the red and green features of the video easily distinguishable. The company is looking for funding in order to roll out the HDMI adaptor via a Kickstarter campaign.

Like Alticast's HDMI media express, personalization and portability are a useful part of the design. Eye2TV further illustrates how digital media, and device miniaturization, can enhance the TV experience for society. We wish them luck!
