Depth perception and contrasting colours
I have long enjoyed stereo photography, in cross-eyed and parallel
free-view, anaglyph through coloured glasses and cross-polarised projections. I was interested to see the "stereo" effect (unintentional) which can be seen on some webpages which use strongly contrasting colours. Like so: http://www.mendosus.com/photography/colour-stereo.html Can everyone here see the apparent differences in depth of the coloured text on that page? Can anyone resolutely *not* see it? Does it work with one eye closed? (It doesn't for me.) More interestingly, can anyone offer a simple, understandable explanation for the effect? Googling produces some joy, but not much. (Too tight to pay for research papers.) Anyone think there could be implications here for landscape photography? (Or is the effect too gross/unsubtle?) -- Jeff R. (more than one dimension) |
