Don McPherson, who has a Ph.D in Glass Science, founded EnChroma. For years they studied and experimented with different kinds of technology. Their goal: create glasses that make color-blinded people see colors again. After years of developing they recently succeeded. The video of people who can see colors for the first time in their life goes viral and to be honest, it got me very emotional. This concept improves the quality of life on such a huge scale for so many people. I can only dream of creating a concept like this one day. What if one day it will be possible to make contact lenses with the same function as the glasses? Or a laser operation? For now this is an amazing breakthrough, we’ll see what the future has in store.
At my study International Lifestyle Studies we are constantly trying to create innovative concept that improve the quality of life of specific target groups. When a concept improves the quality of life it has more chance to succeed. This concept of EnChroma is a perfect example of how to improve the quality of life.
