Description
SightFrame helps educators, accessibility teams, designers, and families discuss how visual conditions can change a scene. Adjust simulation strength, switch between myopia, astigmatism, color-vision, and night-glare presets, and compare before/after in a focused iOS workflow. SightFrame is an educational approximation—not a diagnostic test or medical advice.

Could you build this?
Partial The iOS UI and camera feed are straightforward, but building accurate real-time optical shaders (Metal/GLSL) to simulate refractive errors like diopter defocus, astigmatism axis blur, and glare requires optical physics and shader programming.
What it would actually take: Requires Swift and Metal (or Core Image kernels) processing high-framerate AVFoundation camera streams. The core technical hurdle is authoring accurate mathematical shaders for point-spread functions (PSF) representing spherical defocus and cylindrical refractive errors rather than generic camera blur filters.
