This sounds like an interesting phenonmenon. I'm not at all sure what the
referrence to *minimizing* depth refers to.

At first the description reminded me of experiments with anaglyphs where the
image is pasted into the wrong color layer. However I'm not sure that this
is the same thing.

I'm unclear on the viewing technique. Is it being viewed without any
polarized glasses? Is the use of the stereo projector only for positioning
the regular with the filtered image?

Perhaps for a stereo image to take advantage of this color effect one should
use the same process for each image in the pair. This would require two
stereo projectors and two sets of images. Might be worth trying!

I can't think of a direct way to simulate this in a computer ... yet. (not
enough information)
