3D Glasses and Color

One of the reviews of 3D at the Consumer Electronics Show, by Scott Greczkowski in Multichannel News <http://www.multichannel.com/blog/The_Satellite_Dish/29923-It_s_a_3D_World.php>, contained these sentences:

“To me 3D is missing the eye popping color, everything is a color of gray or blue. Bright vibrant colors such as red, yellow and green are too dampened all because your wearing what are basically expensive sunglasses.”

There is much to what he says.  Full color vision (photopic vision) takes place above a certain light level, and most 3D systems significantly reduce screen brightness.

It’s something to think about.
