Various Measures of the Effectiveness of Yellow Goggles

Abstract

This paper presents the results of four laboratory studies in which perception through yellow goggles is compared with that of luminance-matched neutral goggles. The measurement of depth perception showed that there were no differences between yellow and neutral goggles for stereoacuity but that there were significant improvements in the perception of low contrast contours with yellow over luminance-matched neutral goggles. In addition, the speed of response to large, low contrast targets was faster with yellow than with neutral goggles.
