Human males and females have structural differences both in the eye (composition of the retina) and the visual cortex.
This means that men and women really do see the world differently.
Men have much better low light vision and a high-resolution area in the macula.
Women have a far wider range
of colour perception and superior peripheral vision.
BorgCo are now offering a pair of 3D goggles with cameras and processing software that allows the wearer to experience a version of the visual world as a person of the other gender would.

Sounds like vaporware to me. How could you make me see a wider range of colors than I can see? |
|
| |
A sharp blow to the bridge of the nose often does it. |

|
| |
Not a wider range of colors than you normally _see_, but
wider than you are naturally able to interpret. Digital
wavelength modulation and/or psychotropic compounds
should do the trick. |

d-lysergic acid diethylamide. Pick some up from your local pharmacist. |

I like the idea but if you would permit an observation:
"... to see the World as others see it ..." is the singularly most shittest Vision (did you see what I did there?) and Mission statement that I have ever had the displeasure to hear from an Hegemonising Swarm.
Are you lot pamphleteering in my local neighbourhood now or what?
You might as well be a bunch of Elencher ships!(q.v. Excession by Iain M Banks)
You should All be ashamed.
Make that 'switched off'.

Less S? Are you sure you're not thinking of the

No, we're the ones selling the boxes of cookies. |

In your dreams, sonny boy. And we'll be in there too, before long. |

And yes, we saw what you did. It's not big, and it's not clever. |

My vision sucks in low light, and I see a wider color range and have wider peripheral vision than anyone I've met yet.
So... I don't just get to see like I'm on acid daily, you're saying I also see like a woman? |
|
| |
It... it just keeps getting weirder... and weirder and |

I have excellent night vision _and_ peripheral vision, yet
last time I checked I was sporting only male genitalia. [8th]
are working from a basis of gross generalities here. |
|
| |
[8th] is just a bit confused about individuals vs.
groups (understandable, really)*. Are the population
standard deviation (or similar) small compared to
the difference between the population means (or
similar)? May we have a cite, please? |
|

*Also guilty of taking a metaphor literally,
but presumably that's intentional. |

Goggles which systematically substitute one color for another should not be so difficult. In fact I think you could probably have an app for that, using the image secured by a camera or ipad and connect the goggles via usb. Certainly one could use the infrared camera on the ipad and walk around seeing things in infrared. |
|
| |
But maybe instead of pure infrared, tint things red or blue according to their heat signature. One could also sub in one color for another, or designate certain colors to be like the bluescreen for weathermen - that color would be replaced by a different one or a pattern or maybe a video. Green of grass could be replaced with bubbling red lava. Sky blue could support images of passing pterodactyls / dirigibles. Certain color schemes, for example in a color barcode, could trigger events - for example if you were traversing an area and saw such a symbol, a virtual character might emerge, walk over and talk to you. |

Real time virtual enhancement of reality. It might get those gamers outside. |
|
| |
I'm a bit rushed, so I'll just go straigh to the joke: |
|
| |
[8th],could wanting to *see* like a woman be a precursor to wanting to *look* like one? |
|
| |
I'm sure there's a desire to feel like one sandwiched in there somewhere. |
