Shader Glass

This is really cool. I see the demo uses it for CRT stuff but my first thought is this could be used as a tool for accessibility hallway testing to simulate color blindness, haloing (not sure the correct term), and various other visual impairments.
jeroenhd•2mo ago
> simulate color blindness

I believe Microsoft already has this built into the OS these days:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools/ac...

Of course shader glass will let you write your own, custom, possibly more-realistic colour blindness simulations, but you don't necessarily need third party tools for that kind of thing these days.

Y-bar•2mo ago
I like to use Sim Daltonism (https://github.com/michelf/sim-daltonism/) for accessibility testing.
micheljansen•2mo ago
That's so clever! Plenty of emulators and games don't have native support for these kinds of shaders so just put a filter over it.
ghosty141•2mo ago
I always wish this would also exist on linux.
cupofjoakim•2mo ago
It'd be cool, but I guess the hodgepodge of different solutions in that space would make it really hard. For example, many mods for GW2 don't work in linux if you're on something like Hyprland due to them having to act as overlays. Not sure if that's a wayland issue or just a typical hyprland thing though
sho_hn•2mo ago
You're right, but a plugin for a common compositor like Plasma's KWin would still make it accessible to a large number of users. Shouldn't be too hard to do either. Maybe I'll do it this weekend!
VikingCoder•2mo ago
I wish there were a Monogame plugin that enabled all of these with essentially zero effort.

I also wonder how many could be ported to run in the browser for games.

PaulHoule•2mo ago
Way cooler than Liquid Glass!
laylower•2mo ago
Can I change the pixel emulator to something else?

And also, I read it talks to #device capture input (webcam/capture card)#

Can't cheater providers use this to inject colors?

micheljansen•2mo ago
The way I understand it, the shader overlay can only modify what is already being rendered below. It does not have access to the underlying application logic, 3D geometry or other internals of a game that you would need for this. You can increase the contrast etc of a game but you cannot see through walls or anything, so it probably won’t help you cheat.

Reminds me of cool-retro-term - a terminal that looks like a CRT

xnx•2mo ago
Awesome! Does it have a degauss button?
ThomW•2mo ago
I really want all my media players to include this. Cheers doesn't look the same since my 27" CRT died, and watching it through Shader Glass reminds me a lot of the look of that old TV.

Question - How does this capture the entire screen, except its own window?

I've tried making similar functionality in Python to add visual effects to the screen, but the only way I found is to use one of the packages which leverage the Screenshot functionality.

But this causes recursion since my app's window will be in the screenshot (unless I put my app on a different monitor or a different area of the monitor). How do they avoid that?
