A feature that no one is talking about but which is even cooler: You can use the same technology to a) directly simulate color blindness (drive the L and M cones with the same signal) and b) in theory drive subsets of a dichromat's L cones with derived L- and M- cone amplitudes - does that make them sort of trichromatic? Such an amazing technology! The whole AO story ultimately links back to the Starfire Optical Range : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfire_Optical_Range

The closest approximation to Olo colored paint you can buy is also by the company that makes some of the blackest black paint. I haven't used it personally. https://culturehustle.com/collections/paint/products/yolo-ne...

Lol $11280.99 now marked down to $33.99!

This is part of the shtick - $34 is the "artist price" and for everyone else it's $11k. Basically he only wants the paint used to make art.

weird shit that happen kinda happen to me a lot. i felt always that maybe my brain was malfunctioning. i still kinda do, because it just happen at random when i am outside. sometimes, usually in bright morning light, sunny morning. no i dont look at the sun, yes mostly its visible looking at the blue of the sky. last time i had it while in 1 on 1 with my manager. it took a lot of struggle not to try and rub my eye or…

>this weird rainbow snake floating around.

Sounds like it might have been a 'floater':

(I've had one myself for my whole life, a 'crystal worm'. I usually don't notice it, fortunately, but once it a while it will noticeably drift into my field of view while looking at a bright, blank field - like the blue sky or a monochrome computer screen.)

This reminds me of a thought I had as a child, that what I see as one color could be what everyone else sees as another color: this had blown my mind back then and thought I was a genius for coming up with it ^_^

is there any way to disprove this?

It is possible to see something close (how close I don't know) by saturating the S & M cones instead of avoiding them. Wikipedia refers to these as 'chimerical colors': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color#Chimerical_co...

Ok I watched the red green picture first and was getting pretty impressed that some type of optical illusion was making the circle appear smaller and smaller to me until it vanished!

Then I realized that wasn’t an optical illusion and instead just part of the setup…
