Can colorblind people still see the old 3D images (the ones with the 3D glasses with one side red, the other blue) in 3D? Or what level of colorblindness would be necessary to view the images in 3D?
You may be surprised to learn that during the 3-D movie craze in the 1950s, most theaters used polarized glasses, not the red-green specs. Mainly because most 3-D movies were shot in color.
I’d imagine the 3D effect would be even better for colorblind people. In Red/Blue filtered 3D images, each lens filters to one color, then passes that color to the eye. Since color seperation is done by the lens and not the eye, it doesn’t matter what color you percieve the images as, even if you see them as the same color. They just have to be different enough for the lenses to filter them.
How about a definite answer?
I am colorblind and 3D glasses - both red/blue and polarized - work for me. So the answer is yes.
