COLOR-SELECTIVE PARTIAL POLARIZATION FILTERS FOR MODIFICATION OF HUMAN COLOR VISION WHILE VIEWING COLOR IMAGES IN POLARIZED LIGHT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036359 titled 'COLOR-SELECTIVE PARTIAL POLARIZATION FILTERS FOR MODIFICATION OF HUMAN COLOR VISION WHILE VIEWING COLOR IMAGES IN POLARIZED LIGHT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and device for modifying the color vision of a person while viewing a color image emitted in linearly polarized light by a display device. The device includes two lenses, each with a color-selective partial polarization filter. The filters are oriented non-parallel to each other, causing the person to experience binocular rivalry due to spectral binocular disparity. The intensity of binocular rivalry is maintained for rotations of the polarized light and/or display device by 45 degrees and by 90 degrees. The lenses appear substantially identical when viewed in non-polarized light. The invention is particularly useful for people with color blindness or color vision deficiency.
- The device includes two lenses with color-selective partial polarization filters.
- The filters are oriented non-parallel to each other, causing binocular rivalry.
- The person experiences binocular rivalry due to spectral binocular disparity.
- The intensity of binocular rivalry is maintained for different rotations of the polarized light and/or display device.
- The lenses appear the same in non-polarized light.
- The invention is beneficial for people with color blindness or color vision deficiency.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Assistive device for people with color blindness or color vision deficiency.
- Entertainment or artistic purposes, creating unique visual experiences.
- Medical research and studies on color perception and vision disorders.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a solution for people with color blindness or color vision deficiency to perceive colors more accurately.
- Enhances the visual experience by creating binocular rivalry and unique visual effects.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improves the quality of life for people with color blindness or color vision deficiency.
- Offers a new way to experience and appreciate visual content.
- Provides a tool for researchers and scientists to study color perception and vision disorders.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method, system and/or spectacle eyewear device for modifying the color vision of a person while viewing a color image emitted in linearly polarized light by a display device includes a first lens and a second lens, wherein the lenses each include a color-selective partial polarization filter and the polarization axes the filters are orientated non-parallel to each other and are configured so that a person experiences binocular rivalry due to spectral binocular disparity with respect to the polarized light emitted by the display device. in some variations the polarization axes of the filters are oriented in such a way that the intensity of binocular rivalry is maintained for rotations of the polarized light and/or display device by 45 degrees and by 90 degrees. in some variations the lenses appear substantially identical when viewed in non-polarized light. in some variations the person has color blindness or color vision deficiency.
