The Sight-300 is a full-colour digital night vision monocular designed to work in conditions as dark as starlight, without using infrared (IR) light.

A pair of night-vision glasses would change the way we navigate the late hours, from driving to walking home in the dark. This vision is nearer to reality, as researchers simplify how light is ...

Put simply, night vision scopes convert and amplify photons of light, which means they require some degree of ambient light to function. Thermal scopes work by detecting temperature via recognizing ...

But in this experiment, the team from UC Irvine wanted to see if night vision cameras using multiple wavelengths of infrared light could help an algorithm make better color predictions.

While some systems work by amplifying small amounts of light, those don’t work in total darkness. For that you need night vision gear that illuminates the scene with infrared light.

Scientists have developed revolutionary contact lenses that grant wearers the ability to see infrared light—a feat humans naturally cannot achieve. This breakthrough, detailed in the journal ...

Night vision could be available to everyone in the coming future. The possibility comes after ultra-thin nanocrystals are letting even typical glasses see infrared light — which helps in having a ...

Night Vision, Thermal, and Infrared (IR). Three technologies that give law enforcement a visual edge.

Mostly, these night vision things are all just really cool gadgets, and who doesn’t love really cool gadgets? Several years ago a Santa Barbara tech company called FLIR sent me one of its portable ...

The next generation in night vision for the U.S. military may be something that is already a commercial success in such applications as noninvasive medical examinations and silicon wafer inspection.

Much like some snakes use infrared to 'see' at night, researchers are working to create similar viper vision to improve the sensitivity of night-vision cameras.
