Yeah, ditto for glasses that change/remove colors ... after I few days your perception adapts and you see colors normally again.

It all proves how we don't directly see what's coming thru our eyes - we see the mental model that our brain maintains about the outside word, built/updated via what's coming in thru our eyes.

Please hint me to a source on this. I wonder since some time what will happen when you use a VR headset with see-trough cameras and change the color mapping.

I read this a long time ago .. don't remember the specific source. If I google for it I'm finding "The Innsbruck Goggle Experiments", but not sure if this was the same study I've seen before.

Try warm-tinted sunglasses for a few hours - world becomes blue for a minute or two when I take mine off. I thought everyone noticed this at some point. I would be surprised if you couldn't replicate it with a VR headset, although that doesn't sound very comfortable. You would probably also experience a fleeting feeling of hyperrealistic vision, given how low-fi the see-through camera would be compared to your eyes.
