Effort
A weekend

People reading extensively on screens suffer eye strain, exacerbated by blue light's newly demonstrated effects on detail perception.

Create display modes that intelligently adjust color temperature and contrast to maintain readability while reducing problematic blue wavelengths.

Sell to device manufacturers as licensed technology or directly to users via apps. Focus on e-ink devices first where reading is primary use.

MVP could be a browser extension with optimized reading presets based on the research.

Risk: Operating system-level solutions may eventually incorporate similar features.
