A good friend of mine is colorblind and I did a bunch of research on the topic of colorblindness a while back. The problem(I'm sure it's great nevertheless) is that their technique doesn't add any new colors and doesn't work for full dichromats. Today we've got the technology too supply different color information to each eye, it's even commonplace in the form of 3d television. I did a bit of testing on how the brain interprets this (fun party trick, use complementary colors for each frame and the resulting picture is grey without the glasses and can be psychedelic shenanigans with.) How stable the resulting color is seems to be connected to object recognition, for a fruitstand there certainly were colors I didn't see before, for a fullscreen it oscillated between colors irregularly. I would love to reverse engineer the interpolation function the brain is using. Since it's subjective it's difficult, even with a big sample size you can't match to control colors. If anybody wants to get into this topic I don't have any papers since it was a while back, but topics such as MacAdam ellipse, color confusion lines and image daltonization should be good starting points.
