smartphone app for colorblindness

Dan Kaminsky has created an amazing app that can translate colors into things the colorblind can see!

The Dan Kam "quantizes color", collapsing complicated color spectra into 7 isolated colors. Like lasers for real life. It makes red and green single colors instead of broad ranges. And the two particular colors it uses are different in enough ways that someone who's red-green colorblind can tell them apart!
