title: "CVD Simulator: A Scientifically-Validated Tool for Color Vision Deficiency Simulation"
abstract: >-
  A comprehensive Python package for simulating color vision deficiencies (CVD)
  including protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and achromatopsia. CVD Simulator
  unifies multiple peer-reviewed algorithms (Brettel 1997, Viénot 1999, Machado 2009)
  with configurable severity levels, batch processing capabilities, and production-ready
  features including security validation, comprehensive testing, and type safety.
