色覚異常の人たちはどのように世界が見えているのか(動画)

色覚異常の人たちが地球上にあるものをどのように見ているのか。
|

あなたが赤だと思っているものが、他人にとっては赤ではないということを考えたことがあるだろうか?

アメリカ国立眼病研究所(NEI)によれば、北欧人種の男性8%と女性0.5%には、共通する赤緑の色覚異常がある。しかし、当事者の多くは自覚していない

YouTubeの視覚研究チャンネル「マインド・ウェアハウス」が投稿した動画を見ると、赤と緑の識別が困難な色覚異常から、白黒にしか見えないという色覚異常まで、あらゆるケースについてテスト、診察、実験をしている。

色覚異常の人たちが地球上にあるものをどのように見ているのか、興味を掻き立てられる。この動画は公開されてから800万回以上視聴され、視覚障害者と通常の視覚を持つ人たちの両方の視聴者から13000以上のコメントが寄せられている。

この動画は、色覚異常がどのようなものか、あなた自身をテストするための写真をアップロードできるサイトを紹介している。上記を見て、チェックしてみよう。

We had to begin with the man who put optical illusions on the map, M.C. Escher. \r\n\r\nEscher was not a formal mathematician by any means (he only had a high school education in the subject), but he was fascinated by the visual identity of mathematical concepts. Working mostly in lithographs and woodcuts, Escher explored the relationships between shape and space, interlocking figures in multi-dimensional planes and eternally spiraling spaces. In \"Relativity,\" one of Escher\'s most famous works, several identical, egg-headed characters are depicted roaming up and down endless staircases that seem to defy the laws of gravity.\r\n\r\nImage courtesy of Taschen Books.

Cloud Gate, the 110-ton elliptical sculpture created by Anish Kapoor, is currently installed in Chicago\'s Millennium Park. Formed from polished stainless steel plates, onlookers see a distorted reflection of their surroundings on their structure as their image is reflected back from varying perspectives.\r\n\r\n(Photo credit EMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP/Getty Images)

This acrylic painting by Japanese artist Makoto Aida deceives the eye. Titled AZEMICHI (a path between rice fields), the viewer looks down the evenly parted hair of a pig-tailed girl and sees a narrow country road, bordered by tall grass.\r\n\r\nImage courtesy of Mizuma Art Gallery

At the Guggenheim museum in Venice, a three-sided glass structure in a courtyard draws in visitors because of its mirrored edges. The reflective glass doubles objects or people seen on the opposite side of the installation when viewed from a particular angle.\r\n\r\n(Image via Flickr)

A Flickr user photographed this mind-boggling optical illusion during an art exhibition on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Although the cartoon-esque house by Roy Lichtenstein appears to have four walls and a door, it\'s actually created by three angled surfaces as seen in this video that walks the viewer around the sculpture.\r\n\r\n(Image via Flickr)

A visitor walk along the piece of art called \"Down The Rabbit Hole\" by Rasch at the Arts Decoratifs museum in Paris, during the exhibition \"Trompe l\'Oeil.\" The art technique used in the piece uses extremely realistic imagery in order to create an optical illusion so the depicted objects appear in three dimensions. Four hundred pieces are presented in the exhibition which runs from February 2, 2012 till November 15, 2013.\r\n\r\n(Photo credit FRANCOIS GUILLOT/AFP/Getty Images)
