To be honest I need to rethink the arguments of the linked article - if we just use coloured filters in front of our eyes which exclude each channel, the image (I think) remains sharp (or at least that happens with red/cyan anaglyph glasses).
Indeed, such a boost in ergonomics and productivity with just a "simple" choice.
Btw, I was always amazed by people breaking this functionality by insisting using other keyboard layouts, more appropriate for text.
