This is Neil. When Neil was born, he was completely color blind. But, thanks to an incredible piece of technology, he's now able to hear and sense color.

Basically, this device has a sensor that hangs in front of his head and "sees" the colors he's looking at. It then relays a message to his brain, which emits different frequencies for different colors. So, Neil can actually hear what color he's looking at.

It's great to see that technology like this exists to help people that need it. But you'd think that since he can now tell the difference between colors, he'd wear clothes that match a little better!
