3d Movies - A question about colour blindness?

[blueg33]

My son is red/green colour blind, will a 3d movie still work for him?

Thanks

Not the old type with red/green glasses but no problem with the new stuff

Serious question - but why not ? The red/green filter is there to ensure that each eye sees a different image, not to control the colour. The image is filtered by the coloured lens, not the eye itself so I wouldn't expect colour blindness to be a problem.

Go and read up on it. Basically it's due to fact that the most common Colour blindness is red-green so you cannot see 3d requiring red-green glasses.

You don't need to be able to distinguish red/green for the filter to function, resulting in different perception at different eyes. It would work fine.

Feel free to correct me by explaining why it won't work.

Ditto. My understanding is that the coloured filters should still work so each eye gets a different image. I can't find a definitive answer online so please do explain why it doesn't work.

Being red/green colourblind, I can confirm that both old and new style 3d works fine. The filter occurs before it reaches the eye, so it doesn't matter. The full colours still can't be seen, but they are nonetheless contrasting, so it still works.

....tell him to watch out if driving in America though. Sometimes they string them horizontally, and it's not so obvious to us of that affliction that they are telling you something. (Like STOP!)

Yup...I'm as colourblind as they come and 3d Movies work for me. (including the old red/green glasses type)

And this t-shirt isn't funny.
