Abstract
Background: This study aimed to develop an experiential approach for understanding color vision variations using virtual reality technology.Methods:A virtual classroom was developed in a three-dimensional space, and 10 university students were tested to understand color vision variations. Results:Most participants noted that the virtual classroom was an excellent educational tool, which could help teachers understand the problems associated with [visual analog scale (VAS): mean ± standard deviation (SD), 9.55 ± 1.57] and obtain a better understanding of (VAS: mean ± SD, 9.04 ± 1.0) color vision variations. Conclusions: Our results show that this approach enhanced the participants' understanding of color vision variations; thus, it may assist children who suffer from this variation. It is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach for teachers.
Highlights
Color vision variations affect approximately 6–10% of males and 0.4–0.7% of females, most of them live without experiencing significant problems.[1]
If two or more types of cone cells lack or have abnormal cones, it is classified as monochromatism; if the cone cells are normal, it is classified as normal trichromatism.[2]
Necessary to consider how to use colors based on universal designs; this approach involves products or environments that are perceptible to patients with any color vision variations.[3]
Summary
Color vision variations affect approximately 6–10% of males and 0.4–0.7% of females, most of them live without experiencing significant problems.[1] Such variations are classified into three grades: monochromatism, dichromatism, and trichromatism. They are classified according to the disorder or lack of cone cells: protan deficiency, deutan deficiency, and tritan deficiency. There is currently no effective treatment for this disorder It is, necessary to consider how to use colors based on universal designs; this approach involves products or environments that are perceptible to patients with any color vision variations.[3].
