Researchers have successfully stimulated human retinas to perceive a previously unseen blue-greenish hue, dubbed ‘olo’, using lasers and tracking technology. This breakthrough has the potential to create new colours and aid people with colour blindness. The method, dubbed Oz, works by controlling the precise doses of light delivered to each cell in the retina.
Forecast for 6 months: Within the next six months, we can expect to see further research and development of the Oz technology, potentially leading to improved treatments for colour blindness and the creation of new colours for artistic and design applications.
Forecast for 1 year: In the next year, we anticipate the Oz technology to be refined and made more accessible to researchers and scientists, leading to a surge in studies exploring its potential applications in fields such as art, design, and even advertising.
Forecast for 5 years: Within the next five years, we predict that the Oz technology will become a standard tool in the field of colour vision research, leading to significant advancements in our understanding of human colour perception and potentially even the development of new colour-based therapies for neurological disorders.
Forecast for 10 years: In the next decade, we foresee the Oz technology being integrated into various industries, such as entertainment, fashion, and product design, revolutionizing the way we experience and interact with colours. Additionally, we anticipate the development of new colour-based treatments for conditions such as depression and anxiety.
