Let’s begin.
Tennessee has some of the most beautiful Autumn colors in the world – that 13 million Americans can’t experience due to color blindness. The Department of Tourism partnered with the U.S. based company, EnChroma, to develop and install the first scenic viewfinders that allow those who are color blind to see colors, and connect with the beauty of Tennessee.
Watch the official Tennessee Tourism video above and see for yourself the positive impact this technology has had on so many people. Find where each of these viewfinders are located here.
