  Very interesting George.

  So what would happen if you took a 3d picture using this
method?  It would be 3d obviously, but would you see colour
or just very bad retinal rivalry?

  Assuming you do see colours, what would areas that are
obscured in the red filtered image but visible in the unfiltered
image look like?  B&W I'd have to guess.
