Visual Impairment Simulator for Windows

Developed by a senior design computer science student group at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, VIS is:

... an educational tool that can be used to inform computer users about what it is like to use a computer with a disability. When the program runs, it manipulates the images on the user's screen so that it seems like the user has a visual impairment such as colorblindness or macular degeneration among others. The user will be able to pick which visual impairment to use and the severity of the impairment.

You can download VIS from the student group's project site.
