    Haven’t read the article for reasons, but I find it difficult to believe. There are tricks to get us to see colors that we are otherwise incapable of perceiving due to our eyes, but they are very much edge cases and rely on afterimages or having the brain do the math instead of the rods and cones.

    So how does this work?

      It’s using false colors like we do with images from telescopes that are outside our visual range. So we’re not seeing it as they do, the camera is and can represent the color to us.

      The camera is equipped with special filters and sensors that simulate the vision of various species of animals, including birds, insects and sea creatures.

      It allows us to reproduce the unique features of animal vision, such as the ability to see ultraviolet or polarized light.

      The article says it can do it with 92% accuracy, which seems pretty good TBH.
