Description

Ever wondered what the world looks like through someone else's eyes? What They See turns your iPhone camera into a real-time vision simulator. Point it at anything and instantly see how someone with colorblindness, cataracts, myopia, or dyslexia experiences the world.

Built with optometrists and educators in mind, but made for anyone who's ever been curious about how other people (and animals) see.

VISION CONDITIONS
- Myopia and hyperopia with depth-aware blur powered by LiDAR
- Cataracts: nuclear, cortical, posterior, and mixed types
- Astigmatism with full prescription and axis support
- Baby vision from newborn through 52 weeks of development

COLORBLINDNESS
- Deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia, and monochromacy
- Adjustable severity so you can see mild to complete color shifts

DYSLEXIA
- Multiple research-backed simulation types available in 39 languages
- Point your camera at any text and see it transform in real time

ANIMAL VISION
- See the world as a dog, cat, bee, eagle, snake, owl, mantis shrimp, and more
- Ever wonder why your dog can't find the orange ball in green grass? Now you'll know.

LEARN MORE WITH DEEP DIVES
- Every simulation includes an in-depth educational guide
- 30 deep dives with statistics, interactive charts, diagrams, and world maps

What They See is designed for educational purposes and is not intended for medical diagnosis. Vision is deeply personal, and individual experiences may vary. Our simulations are built on published research and developed in consultation with optometrists, special education teachers, dyslexia specialists, and veterinary professionals.
