RESEARCH / SOCIAL IMPACT
A TÜBİTAK 2209-A supported research project using play to explore colour vision differences in preschool children.
Discover through play
OVERVIEW
Minik Gözler is a mobile game research project exploring how preschool children distinguish colours through play. It starts from the child’s familiar world of games and colour rather than lengthy instructions for a test.
Young children may find differences in colour perception difficult to describe. The research asked whether a game based on distinguishing colours could help families become aware of those differences earlier.
The mobile game approach puts the child’s interaction with colour at the centre of the research. Its purpose is not to deliver a performance score or medical diagnosis, but to draw attention to colour perception through choices in play and encourage specialist assessment when needed.
Developed within Kocaeli University’s Computer Engineering Department, the project was carried out by Noyan Şimşek, Seda Tanbay and Reha Gülasar under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Dr. Pınar Onay Durdu. It received support through TÜBİTAK’s 2209-A undergraduate research programme and a certificate of appreciation for the project.
