How to Achieve Better Trichromatic Vision

[@ooqui]

*IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:* This is a color vision that slightly approaches a very simple and unconventional form of tetrachromatic color vision. On RGB screens it still works with trichromatic data; in real life it works with the entire visible light spectrum. Because the additional impossible binocular color combinations add more perceivable colors overall and enhance your color discriminability, it's an enhancement of your trichromatic vision. There are methods to simulate a form of "more functional" and "more real" tetrachromacy which comes a lot closer to "real functional" tetrachromacy, but the method shown in this video is just a very simple enhanced trichromatic vision, that comes slightly closer to a form of tetrachromacy. You can argue that this very simple form of simulated "near" tetrachromac-ish vision is just a better trichromacy. This is technically correct, but also hugely misunderstood. With each incremental addition of a new distinct cone type, even if it's a very similar cone type to one of the already existing ones, the main change is a better hue/color discriminability and more perceivable/distinguishable colors. So, the method shown in this video is NOT simulating "real" functional tetrachromacy. That's why I've changed the video title to "How to Achieve Better Trichromatic Vision". It's a very simply form of a very unconvential color vision somewhere between tri- and tetrachromatic-ish vision, where you can see more colors overall, but not an entirely new dimension of color (as in an entirely new fully distinct cone type). *Video notes:* In this video I'll show you how you can experience a near (type green) tetrachromatic color vision, and how to enhance your normal trichromatic vision. Have fun watching and experimenting with your color vision and perception!comes

I read your comment on Joe Scott’s most recent video and I’ve gotta say I greatly admire the passion you put into your work. There’s great potential for this channel in the future so I hope you decide to keep up the content.

[@ooqui]

Thank you for this wonderful comment! The videos I've already posted are just the beginning. I already have so much content and experience to share. I just need the time and energy to create it. It's great to see that there are people out there that share my passion. Videos will come, though involuntarily inconsistent, because KZbin's not my full-time job (yet) and my student life feeds on a lot of my free time. Look forward to your world of color being de- and reconstructed to create a multi-spectral, multi-dimensional, multi-spatial and colorfully polarized (etc.) color and light experience.

oh hell yeah we gettin shrimp colors with this one

[@ooqui]

Not with this video's setup. But with the app that I'm currently developing, named "Color in Color", you can see 280 trillion colors (approx. hexachromacy). That's 8 million times more colors than a normal trichromat can see. "Color in Color" is more comparable to an idealized mantis shrimp vision.

@@ooqui yeah, I haven't really watched the video yet. I wanted to leave a comment so I could find it and I left this bc I thought it would be gunny

[@ZackMaxYT]

@@ooqui is it out yet?

[@ooqui]

@@ZackMaxYT I'm still working on 'Color in Color'.

Your videos are addictive

I, my best friend and my husband once went through a very thorough color identifier test (you had to order stuff from the darkest shade of it to the lightest). The lower the test score, the better your color sense was. The average score was 20. My best friend and I got 12, so we have better than average color sense. Then my husband did it - he got 4. No wonder he sees colors that other people don't. :)

[@ooqui]

Regarding your husband, the distribution of his 3 cones' spectral sensitivity responses could be better spaced apart than the average. This is definitely not the norm. Normally this greater color vision was mainly observed in a very few females that are presumedly tetrachromats and report a greater color identification in low light conditions. However, because the dice of the 3 cones' spectral sensitivity responses are randomly rolled each time a new human is created, a random distribution with a few anomalies is to be expected. I can't say for sure, because there could be other situational clues your husband could have subconsciously used, but he indeed may possess superior color vision. Or he may have a strange type of color vision deficiency where he sees less colors in general but therefore increasingly focuses on color value (i.e. how light or dark a color appears) instead.

[@Elora445]

@@ooqui Yeah, something is not quite normal, so to say, with his sense of color. It isn't that he sees colors that aren't there either, because sometimes, when he points out that there is for example more red, that one can then see - when you look closer - that he's actually right. But the test that we did showed that he's excellent at spotting differences in the nuances of the colors. When they started blurring together more and more for me, he could still spot the differences. Something might still be off with his sense of color though. Considering that he thinks some color combinations work that so called normal people don't think fit together. Might be because of his wacky sense of color, indeed.

ive got another way to make the colors more intense and the color perception more nuanced: magic mushrooms (im not joking)

[@ooqui]

Well, "magic mushrooms" might work, ...but then you're also doing "magic mushrooms", which I don't ever want to do.

[@raymoshav-bloodbought]

This is some very impressive stuff.

[@kydenengbrock7007]

What website did you use to make and simulate the triaptochromacy?

[@ooqui]

The visualizations of this "triaptochromacy" you see in this video aren't made with any special website. It's an animation that tries to represent what I see with the special glasses that evoke this kind of enhanced color vision. I animate everything myself using Unity and other little programs. If you meant something different, then please elaborate.

Depending on how much my channel grows in the future the 124th place will be quite a low number. :D

OK, but where can I buy those glasses?

[@ooqui]

The single magenta lensed glasses are just regular magenta/green anaglyph 3D glasses where I popped the green lens out. You can find and buy such glasses very easily on the internet as there are many websites that sell 3D glasses.

Do you sell cars?

[@ooqui]

If you can explain to me why you've asked such a off-topic question, I might even answer it seriously.

[@Graeme_Lastname]

@@ooqui It was my first guess and, I suppose, a sample of my humor. 😃

[@ooqui]

@@Graeme_Lastname Well, all I can say to your question is that I don't sell cars. I'm a university student.

[@Graeme_Lastname]

@@ooqui You were *_very_* enthusiastic. Like a car salesman. Not having a go at you, just a bit of fun. Still got a like m8. C ya. 😃 🖖
