Chromo stereopsis?

a

second prism is added to correct the angle. In the process it doubles the

angle of separation for the colors. The special optical surface has been

created in a thin plastic lens using two types of plastic. The glasses I

have are for viewing computer monitors and have the special lens over the

left eye. The other eye looks through a perfectly clear non-distorting lens=
..

The result is that colors from the image appear to come from different

places due to the bending.</x-quoted>

	The glasses I have for Crayola's Jumping Colours were made

 by Chromotek and Chromadepth is a registered trademark of the lenses.=20

 My lenses appear to have a type of diffraction grating holographic

series of horizontal bands which can be seen on both sides or

in both lenses unlike yours.

	They work well for anything printed but not that well for my

computer screen.

	Thanks for the info.
