Animal Vision : OpenCV Filters

Wanted something to see which toys & videos actually stand out for my cat. This one dfinitely does not have cat or dog vision correct based on best scientific data. When people say these animals are "color blind" it doesn't mean you can just slap a sepia or b&w filter over it and call it good. Two stars because the concept is good, but I will be looking for another app/filter that actually uses scientific findings & understanding of what colors our pets see.

Effects that are physically outside my camera's capabilities (like infrared for snakes) are not what makes this app lose points from me. It's the ones that are possible, but are still inaccurate. Personally, I was looking for a "dog vision" camera. If you look at a dog's color vision spectrum, blue is prominent on one end while yellow is prominent on the other. This camera's dog filter is just blue. Yellow doesn't come through at all.

The graphic art and creativity are obviously good. But I have to give a low review, because I don't believe it's appropriate to name/classify the app this way. As soon as you open it the first time, it gives a disclaimer that it's "just for fun" and not really meant to convey animal vision. And clearly that's correct...there's no way that snakes and insects can make out objects almost perfectly. For those of us who were drawn from intellectual curiosity, and not desire to have fun with fancy pictures like little girls, this is frustrating. It should not be the first app that comes up when this is searched.
