There goes Hillary’s chances of getting any even with the lights off. :)

Well, all this does is allow the user to see glowing body heat.

She has none........................

this is bad news for the less attractive women in the bars towards the end of the evening.

[ontap]

There are no less attractive women in bars at closing time!!!!

[dp0622]

ROFLMAO!!! True!!

I remember being in my mid 20s and at 3am (clubs close at 4 here in NYC) it was time to hit on most every and anything!!)

A "wider range" or a "different range"?

I guessing it would impact humans "normal" range.

[Red Badger]

... nanoparticles inserted into the eyes of mice boosted their vision beyond the normal range of colours they can detect and enabled the rodents to see infrared light.

Now what they aren't saying is how does this affect 'normal' vision? If you add infrared to normal vision, you'll get some pretty odd looking views...................

Mess with the retina at your own risk.

What works for mice doesn’t necessarily work for humans.

[Mr. Blond]

Injections into the eyeball? I’ll stick with the goggles.

[StormEye]

The Chi_Comms will test it on humans. Volunteers or not.
They have no legal or moral restraints to stop them.

with only minor side effects,

Like eye infection and blindness?..................

[Secret Agent Man]

This may very well work fine for some animals, as many dont see a more expanded full color spectrum like the human eye does. I know my pets see mostly blues and greens and grays, according to their eye structures.

It would be better to test it out as some kind of contact lens type situation and see what it does to normal vision and color comprehension.

700nm (near infrared) converted to 535nm (green) - Sounds like a phosphor.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Green is the traditional choice for night vision devices. Appropriate.

[Red Badger]

No, it will look like one though.

I expect in normal light, people, animals, cars etc. will have a green glow.......................

[Red Badger]

Yes, but you can’t turn this one off.......................

[Pearls Before Swine]

Not just a job... an adventure (assuming this is used by military instead of night burglars).

"The rodents were given infrared night vision for 10 weeks after the injection, with only minor side effects:
