Actually, they had something like that in the late 1960s. The contacts
were intended to help those, such as myself, afflicted with deficient
color vision. The idea was that you could look at something that is
color coded. Each eye would see a different picture. Neither is the
correct color scene. The brain would then decide what the real colors
must be.

I used to do something like this when I had to proofread accounting
sheets. The negative values were in red pencil and the positive values
in black pencil. I had a lot of trouble distinguishing one from the
other. So I would lay a transparent red ruler over the column of
numbers. The white paper became light red and the red numbers
practically disappeared. The black numbers were still obvious. Then I
would put a mark next to the blank entries, remove the ruler, and
proceed to proofread the values.
