Here is a question for some of you. I remember seeing some demonstrations
of experiments conducted by Dr. Edwin Land which seemed to indicate that
only 2 colors are required for some full color applications. The program
was several years ago, and I am not sure of all the details of the
demonstration. As I recall, it had much to do with the brain's ability to
add missing information to the scene. I do remember the full color
reproductions of flowers made with during the demos. Anyone else remember
this or can any of you provide some missing information?
He also discussed depth perception and how it is not a big factor for
people who have had stereoscopic vision at some point in their life, but
lost an eye due to injury or disease. The brain creates the depth clues.
