Can glasses that make you see like mantis shrimp be created?
In: Technology
No. The human eye has four kinds of light-detecting cells. This limits the number of ‘colors’ we can see to four, but since one of these times is mostly indiscriminate to color, the number is actually three.
Glasses can block out some colors that rest ‘between’ the colors we see, causing improved color sharpness (how enchroma glasses work), but they cannot change this basic limit of three colors.
