Colour Blindness...

I wonder how those same images will look in adz-o-vision?

Did you see that news article about the painter who is (allegedly) completely colour-blind? They hooked up a camera to a laptop and converted all the visible wavelengths to sound frequencies. He aims the camera at a colour on his subject and the sound tells him which one it is. I thought that was pretty cool.

Yeah, but how the hell does he mix the paint? :-?

Perfect excuse for getting the wife to drive!

"Oooh, it's looking a bit grey out love.  Don't reckon I could see proper.  You best drive."

Trust me, she is far and away too intelligent to fall for that. Whilst she knows and accepts the limitation of my vision, my saying the above is likely to meet with "It always looks grey to you, out or in."

A far better excuse is the fact I didn't actually take my driving test yet :lol:

Admittedly, that's largely the fact I never got round to it when I had time, and now I'm struggling to find it :-/

He aims the camera at the palette and if the sound frequency is too high or low, he adds colour of the right 'frequency' to fix it.

That's interesting. How do you fully eproduce colour as sound? OK, it's fine for the basic spectrum since you are mapping frequency of light to frequency of sound. However, even I know there's no such thing as the "brown" wavelength. Some colours are mixtures of wavelengths of light. Does the device play complex harmonics?

I could imagine using three harmonizing notes for each of your primary wavelengths in differeing volumes to represent the component intensity...

Hmm, I might go and listen to some of Rembrandt's stuff :-D

Well, at night, everything gets a blue hue, even when there is no moonlight.  At least in my eyes. :-)

Funny, I can't say I ever really thought about it before but you might be right.

One thing's for sure, they completely overdo that effect in movies :-)

Aye, I suppose :lol:

Was that one of your favourites then?

For the record I don't think it was an arsefez for the effects or the basic story. Just the concept of literally getting sucked into your computer in the first place :lol:
