30 Years Later: Has CVD Research Changed the World?

It is arguable that academics working in accessibility want to improve lives. Last year marked 30 years since the first accessible computing publication [46] on supporting people with Color Vision Deficiency (CVD - commonly called colorblindness), making it a great time to review the CVD academic research that has been completed since then and assess its broad availability to the general population. In this paper, we identify seven central themes in the CVD academic literature, and employ a novel technique (PDI - Persona Driven Inquiry) to explore if and how that literature is available to the general public. Subject to some limitations, we found that this research is indeed available.
