ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed towards a method and apparatus for permitting human perception of more of the spectrophotometric values which define the color of an observed object. A first optical filter, worn over the left eye is provided having a spectral response containing three peaks; one for each of red, green, and blue, tuned to the maximum responsiveness of the human eye to red, green, and blue colors. A second optical filter, worn over the right eye, is similar to the left optical filter, but with the peaks tuned to complementary portions of the visual spectrum. In this manner, a dimension of color perception is added, because each eye sees different colors for the same object which when combined represent the actual color of the object.
