Abstract: This demo introduces an extended reality (XR) system designed to enhance environmental perception for individuals with Color Vision Deficiency (CVD). The system leverages a hybrid workflow: first, users perform a digital implementation of the Farnsworth D15 Arrangement Test within a fully immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environment to ensure controlled lighting and diagnostic precision. Based on this assessment, the system generates a personalized visual profile, which is then applied as a tailored, static compensation filter in an Augmented Reality (AR) setting. This overlay optimizes color contrast and discrimination in the user's real-world field of view. At the demonstration venue, participants can experience the full XR pipeline, transitioning from VR-based calibration to ARassisted vision, showcasing the potential of cross-reality tools as scientifically-grounded assistive technologies.
