Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) in Australia have demonstrated complex night vision light processing along a simpler, narrower pathway, which means night vision tech can be packaged as a night-vision film that weighs less than a gram and can be placed across existing lensed frames, doing away with bulky and expensive headsets and lens attachments.
Much as sunglasses aid vision on a bright day, a pair of night-vision glasses could be extremely useful in the dark of night, significantly improving user safety, such as preventing falls, vehicle accidents, and crime.
