One room, three teaching pictures

These generated illustrations suggest different ways a scene can become harder to use. The person living with sight loss is the expert on their own experience.

The unfiltered generated living room used as the reference for all three illustrations — The original generated room, before any changes.

Retinitis pigmentosa

Generated images can change small details in the scene. For a consistent reference, the live explorer applies adjustable effects to the original image. Neither format is diagnostic or a substitute for asking someone what they see.
