Because unless I'm very mistaken, most colorblind people see a certain spectrum of colors and that's it; they don't "flicker" inbetween very different colors like that.
I'm pretty curious to know more and why that's the case for him, though.
Michael is such a supportive dad to his colorblind son Trevor, while he's trying to conceptualize shapes.
I asked him what that was like and he seemed a bit annoyed and said it’s just how he sees. I realized that, to him, this is just how everything is. There is no way for him to truly compare his eyesight to mine or anyone else’s.
It opened my eyes (pun absolutely intended) to how perception works and how people can have different perceptions of the world. To him, his eyes were normal.
So seeing the approximation of Trevor’s vision is super interesting to me. It’s not perfect (as he keeps describing colors fading in and out, which I would attribute to the computer screen) but it’s still fascinating to me. I wonder how they created that approximation.
It’s also fascinating to me which numbers he’d see and which ones he wouldn’t see.
Also, when he puts on the glasses, he says the colors “pop”. This fits with the second test saying he has moderate protans (don’t remember the exact word used), which would cause the colors he does see to appear duller. So he’s not just seeing “new” versions of colors but also brighter colors.
