Add Image Maps that "Simulate Colorblindness" #66

Open riley-harper opened 3 years ago

riley-harper commented 3 years ago

I was looking around at some colorblindness simulation projects, and I think that some tone maps for simulating colorblindness would be doable. I think that colorblindness is interesting and that simulating it can give people a better understanding of how it works and how it affects others, giving them more empathy. Need to be careful to make note of the purpose of the simulation and its limitations and flaws.

These aren't really tone maps, but are just filters, since they don't have to do with transforming an HDR image into a [0;1] bounded image.
