Humans could get X-Men ‘SUPER VISION’ to see in the DARK after nanoparticles let mice see infrared

Lol! This reminds me of one of those "would you" questions we once had back in college, the question was, "If you could get implants that would give you superior vision across then entire spectrum, perfect night vision etc. and you would never have to worry about going blind or having vision problems...but...

...you would have to have your natural eyes completely removed and replaced by the implants.

Would you do it?

I think my response at the time was sure, provided the implants were indistinguishable from my natural eyes, (not something like a metal camera sticking out of my head). However, these days I think I would say no, my trust in technology seems to decrease with age.

so can this be turned on and off??? casuse i don't understand how seeing both IR AND visible light at the same time would work and still have the resolution required for normal vision

[NativeSon]

No thanks, I’m good (turns on flashlight).

Got a shine-job, lets me see in the dark...

[Red Badger]

No it cannot be ‘turned off’, it lasts about six months then goes away.....................

[Chode]

so that means you ONLY see in the IR range?

i have never seen composite IR/visual light images, wonder what it would look like?

[Red Badger]

No, it ADDS the IR range to your current vision.

I would imagine that it would take some getting used to........................
