I'm colorblind and have to call bullshit on all the people crying because they "saw red" for the first time. Try out "color vision" on your computer with a software-based screen filter that shifts the color intensities first before you buy these glasses. Now they've even tricked the government into it.

I believe they are not reacting to red, but by the ability to differentiate it from other colours. I'm colour blind in one eye only. For that reason, I quite want to try them out to see what exactly the lenses do to change the appearance.

  Mac and Windows have this functionality in the accessibility settings if you want to try it out.

    I thought they had colour pallets that are appropriate for various blindnesses (ex: for yellow/blue blind folks, green, blue and cyan are all the same colour, so you wouldn't use more than one of that set of colours in any given pallet). I don't need that since I see fairly normal colour in the other eye, and so I have an immediate "converter" to see what the visual difference is between yellow/blue blindness and normal vision. I literally don't even notice unless my right eye vision is blocked. I see a properly coloured world as long as both eyes (or my right eye alone) are seeing it. I don't think the OS/X and Windows things are emulating what the glasses do. The glasses are filtering out overlapping colour frequencies (as seen by the eye's cones) so the R G and B are more distinct. That's completely different. This is limiting the noise, versus changing the whole colour pallet. Interestingly images altered to look like yellow/blue blindness look the same to both my eyes, so I'd say they're pretty accurate. There are some small discrepancies, but very few in most that I've seen. I actually find that a little jarring because of course my right eye protests this invasion of missing colours.
