This is fantastic. I was looking at your App Store page (congrats on 430+ ratings, by the way), and one of your reviews is incredibly compelling:
"Older eyes lose color cones after dark... this app allows me vision..."
This is more than a tech demo or a "ghost-hunting" toy. You've accidentally built a powerful assistive tech (accessibility) tool for people with low-vision.
You've genuinely given someone a "superpower" they were losing. This is the best kind of 'Show HN.' Amazing work.

In fact, I also built an app specifically for blind and low-vision users. It was inspired by my Night Vision app, and it’s called Obstacle Detector: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6461118479
That question sparked the creation of the Night Vision App. By combining the iPhone’s LiDAR scanner with the TrueDepth camera, it delivers detailed low-light imaging and transforms your phone into a capable night-vision tool.
If you own an iPhone Pro model, it’s definitely worth trying.
