A team of engineers created new, Blade Runner-esque eyewear that gives wearers a glimpse into the hidden world of infrared light.
Previous conversion efforts represented all infrared light as a single color.
The end result is a pair of glasses that let the user simultaneously see infrared wavelengths next to ordinary visible light through one lens.
Weaker, longer-wave infrared light results in a red image, while stronger, shorter-wavelength infrared light produces a red-cyan mixture.
In testing, researchers shone infrared light onto various shapes and moving objects.
