More about this game
Ryan’s Vision Spectrum Wheel is an interactive study in perception where you explore six different ways of seeing. The goal is to observe how each perspective alters the screen, from blinding glare to shifting fragments and rippling prisms. There is no win state, score, or time limit. You freely switch between Typical, Jack, Owen, Lisa, Amelia, and Ryan's visions to understand their unique visual experiences. The experience continues as long as you wish to explore.
Tips
- Pay attention to the transition effect when switching views, which takes about 980 milliseconds and features 9 distinct prism ripples by default.
- Read the text card at the bottom for a symbolic interpretation of what each visual filter represents, rather than a medical diagnosis.
- Switch directly between Jack's vision of blinding glare and shadow and Amelia's persistent indigo light to see contrasting extremes in visual perception.
