University of California, Berkeley , scientists have created a new platform called 'Oz' that uses laser light to control up to 1,000 photoreceptors in the eye at once.

Using Oz, the researchers showed people images, videos and a new, ultra-saturated shade of green that they have named 'olo' The platform could be used to probe the nature of color vision and provide new insight into human sight and vision loss.

Oz system can be programmed to rapidly scan a laser beam over a small patch of the retina.

It delivers tiny pulses of energy when the beam reaches a cone that it wants to activate.

By activating a combination of S, M and L cone cells, Oz can trick the eye into seeing images in technicolor.

Five human subjects got the chance to see the color olo, including Roorda and Ng, who were aware of the purpose of the study.
