That is correct. The ability to see 3D is not related to the ability to
see color.
While it is popular to remember the red green glasses of the 1950s (The
colors are actually red and cyan) most projected film uses polarized
light to separate the images.
Depth perception is an illusion that happens in the brain. It can be
affected by such things as cataracts, or lazy eye. Or the more obvious
a missing eye. Those "can u see the shark" painitings that used to be
in the mall shops, where developed from tests used to determine this
theory. They are properly called single image random dot stereograms
(SIRDS.) They are also known as Julez patterns after the researcher who
did the early work on this in the 1960s.
I think this has gone way past the original intent. I made a mistake in
understanding the new process. I have been corrected on this.
As for the old process, using the red/cyan filters, I have that on my
website <http://www.delectra.com/jporter/> As I actively (Even as
recently as this last December) take 3D photographs, the feedback I
have, even with the direct steroptican viewer is that a number of my
aquantances indicate that they are unable to see the 3d effect in the
images.
I look forward to seeing the reviews of the new process.

Er, why? It shouldn't require color vision, because the filtering is
done *before* the light reaches the eye. Color-filtered 3D might look
more natural to the colorblind than to the rest of us, for that reason.
