Interesting, high-tech intersubjectivity. |

UB: clear enough in the description, I think. (False color imaging is a well-established technology on this planet, even in Australia; the idea here is a tunable version.) |
|
|
The implication that the imaging is converted to something humans can see is clear to me as the very heart of the idea. That it must be presented in some sort of false color translation to the human spectrum is implied equally clearly. |
|
|
The idea of collecting the whole spectrum and presenting it in a unified way is, to me, a pretty compelling idea. It makes me try to imagine what it would be like to use such a thing. For that reason alone, I think it is quite croissant worthy. |

[UB] A colour translation algorithm for the human visible spectrum could be just to "compress" the fuller spectrum into our perceptual range - infra-red is seen as red, red is seen as orangey-red... UV is seen as violet. Thusly our perception of the currently visible spectrum would be slightly degraded, but we could squeeze in the cool new stuff on the ends. |

More of a problem for those pesky x-/ gamma-rays, maybe, but perhaps the principle would hold. |

I would like to see sound waves and hear the visible spectrum. |

Scorpions are almost invisible to
the naked eye in the wild, but will
glow brightly under the
illumination of a black light. |

And for the equestrians, a helmet that splits your vision into two views from the sides, so you can get a feeling what it's like to be a prey beast, designed to be able to detect predators while grazing. |

I believe horses see in black and white.....funny, they can always detect the slightest touch of green grass.....might have to incorporate an enhanced sense of smell into this. |
