*How to watch this video:* Open the RUclips app on your VR headset and play this video in full screen, OR watch it with a cardboard VR headset (or by crossing your eyes) on your mobile phone on the mobile RUclips app (with the cardboard VR mode enabled). It might lag in 4k, but a 4k resolution is preferable. The video will still run and somewhat work in 1440p, but everything will look more blurry then. This is due to how VR videos work and are constructed. This is the maximum resolution currently possible. The more you learn about impossible colors, and the more you study and get used to them, the better you'll be able to identify and perceive them as unique colors. Give your eyes and brain some time to adjust to these new colors and this new kind of color vision. You can additionally see the true red tetrachromatic colors like I do on digital screens by putting on a normal strong red filter over your left eye underneath your VR headset. With this said, have fun with this video!
This is unrelated to this video, but im still wondering why yellow is so common in tetrachromacy? Like an interesting video idea would be explaining how other Secondaries like cyan or magenta may or may not have their own volors cones in tetrachromatic people
For now, I recommend this article I've written about tetrachromacy on my website. www.color-in-color.info/tetrachromacy_1/non-retinal-tetrachromacy It's a continuation of this video here and goes into more detail. Some of your questions will be answered there.
This is hard to watch because I have a hard time keeping my eyes crossed for long enough to get the tetrachromatic experience (I have no VR headset nor cardboard one). And also, when I go cross-eyesd, my vision loses focus as if I was zoning out. I assume this is normal but it's interesting to point out. I shall go make/get a cardboard VR headset. 😁
You have to cross your eyes often to build the muscles required for making eye-crossing easier. The combined image slowly becomes sharper with concentration, time and the rightly trained eye muscles. This is unfortunately not something you can easily do over night. So your struggles are normal. This is also why this video can be watched in both VR and on your mobile phone with the cardboard VR mode enabled. VR is generally easier, because the 'eye crossing' is already done by the VR headset itself; but then again you'd need a VR headset for that.
You can already easily watch this video in cross-eye stereography. Just open it on your mobile phone's RUclips and enable the "cardboard VR" mode. Then you'll see the two color perspectives side by side, and you'll just have to cross your eyes.
I dont understand, how is it that VR display allows you to display colors that are otherwise impossible on a normal screen? Edit: After watching your video on hexachromacy i think i understand now. Vr lets you present different images to each eye, so you can take advantage of the binocular redundancy you were talking about, right?
Correct. In this case it's specifically chromatic redundancy, which is a subset of binocular redundancy. Basically, if you show each eye a different color and learn to interpret their impossible combination as a new color experience; then you can see more colors. Just like mixing red and green normally gives you a yellow, but with many more normally impossible color combinations. You can do similar things with analog color filters, but getting full hexachromacy there is much *much* more difficult.
@@ooqui This oddly reminds me of how psychedelics can make white "split" into two complementary colors that tend to be consistent with a given person over multiple trips. Mine are kind of a lime green and magenta, not my favorite combo. I would have chosen the Haidinger's Brush colors (deep blue and pale yellow), if given the opportunity. (I'm "fortunate" enough to see Haidinger's Brush in a blank white LCD display, so I know the colors well.) I'm guessing that every brain wires its color circuits somewhat arbitrarily. Green will probably get the most bandwidth because it has the most cones, but other than that it doesn't so much matter if our internal perceptions are all alike. The summary our brain makes of them _does_ tend to some objective reality we can mostly agree on, even if the part of the brain you use to process blue is the part I use to process red. It all gets fixed at the mixdown stage.
Dude I dont understand anything I've never watched a video of color or eyes. Would you say I would understand your video ? I read the comments and it looks like you tried to explain colors or how to expand the colors we can see? I might be too dumb for that so im not sure if it's worth 20 minutes
It's okay to not understand a subject at first. Even I had to research colors for years in order to understand impossible colors. I'm not expecting you to understand it in one video. However, if you watched this video in VR (if you haven't already, and you have to to experience the colors I'm talking about) you would naturally understand what I'm talking about, as I'm literally showing you the new color experiences. Whether this video is "worth" for you to watch depends on yourself, but it's a subject where even 20 minutes is technically not enough time to fully explain it. Hence, I upload(ed) more than one video on my channel. You're not "too dumb". It's just a very complex subject. Like, there are literally 16 million times more colors (i.e. 280 trillion colors instead of 16 million) in the human hexachromacy enabled by using virtual reality to create impossible colors.
What is the point of making this video VR? It's annoying to watch, youtube's VR player is buggy as hell, and the quality is garbage even at "4K". Just stop it.
I appreciate your opinion, however this video only works in VR. How else would I be able to show you the impossible color combinations that I'm speaking of, honestly? I'm aware that this creates friction with people who don't have a VR headset or don't want to use their phone to watch this video, but it's a necessary friction to faithfully convey the experience of impossible colors. It doesn't work in any other way. I cannot stop making VR videos, just like I cannot display normal videos without using any colors; because then they'd be black. Your demand is unreasonable and cannot work for the type of video I'm creating. In my personal experience, RUclips's VR player works just fine, on VR and cardboard VR. The quality is something I'm working on but also something that's limited by RUclips to some extent. Again: *This video cannot work without VR.* This is literally the *only* instance where you *need* VR to convey a sensation; unlike e.g. VR videos about VR games which work just fine in 2D. Hence, I will *not* "just stop it".

Well done ! 💯💯💯💯💯💯
just watched it on the computer just for what you were saying, but i defenitly gotta watch this with some kind of VR device again!
Yes, I highly recommend watching this video with a VR headset. Otherwise you won't be able to see the impossible colors.
Great video Ooqui! I’ve always been fascinated with and curious about color, and your channel delves into the subject more than any other would dare!

Release it in cross-eye stereography!

unfortunately even with a vr headset, I still don't get to see the colors. as my right eye doesn't work
That's the only scenario where you can't see impossible colors, unfortunately. Although temporal colors will work just fine for you.
