Microsoft has launched an application “Color Binoculars” for people with colour blindness. The application was created by Microsoft engineers who themselves were suffering from colour blindness. Microsoft team called “Microsoft Garage” has now launched the application for all iPhone users through Apple store.
The application automatically adjusts the colours so that the users suffering from colour blindness will be able to differentiate the colours easily. Microsoft claims that the application is supportive for three common types of colour blindness.

The application was developed by Tom Overton and Zhu in 10 months time. However the application is only launched for IOS based iphones and not for android users and it seems that Microsoft does not intends to launch it for android users.
