No it's not something that is used in the game itself, it's for your own personal use. Me and some friends were screwing around with it with all the lights off, and it was INSANE how it worked.

It's not like an addon to wear during the game, it's something that you use personally. Look it up as well.

If you are talking about a physical device, it is probably just a IR illuminator, they are dirt cheap and sold as kids toys.

Wonder how expensive these fucking things are, and who would be able to obtain and use them for -- not so good purposes.

Imagine what the US military (and others have) around the world, if this is what our private researchers are allowed to tell us about?

A friend of mine just bought the night vision stuff with the last COD game, shit was pretty wild and that was a cheap device. Imagine what a couple hundred thousand dollars gets you.

That sounds quite useless given that, even if the game won't let you adjust settings, both the monitor and the OS controls would (ie. gamma slider).

Of course the military and other security forces would be the most "volunteer" test subjects, lets hope it doesn't have any nasty side effects...

The question is: gene modification to have that fish eye when?

^^^ Besides, most people who go in for a standard, yearly, eye exam, get their eyes dilated with eye drops. Then they make you wear those goofy sunglasses until the effects of the dilation wear off.

Try your vision outside at night after being dilated by your eye doctor. You can see much better in the dark for a while.

Cool

This isn't a breakthrough for anyone who has ever tried psilocybin.

Yeah I'd be a bit wary of putting something like that in my eyes, even if the drops do come from natural substances.

Would be epic if they could make night vision glasses (maybe even contact lenses), I'm sure there are plenty of military contracters who would find technology like that very useful.

hee-ho.
I wonder how many deep sea fish they require to make that eye drops.

they don't need to kill any deep sea fish to make it. Ce6 is made from Chlorella (fresh water algae) and some green plants. so they can just grow some Chlorella and make it.
Ce6 could also damage your eyes.

Imagine how they will work with a scope  Smiley
That would be fine for in the dark but turn on lights and it might not be so much fun.
Someone will end up blinding themselves with it  Sad

I would any day prefer goggles to actually putting drops in my eyes. I would be scared about the side effects.

It says that more research will need to be conducted to measure the actual amount of electrical stimulation increase in the eye whilst the long term effects of the procedure will require further investigation.


Yeah let them try on themselves a couple of times and if they don't get blind, I would still not use it and wait till they try on some more people and wait some more months till it is confirmed that there are no delayed side-effects. And then I'll ask some people I know/Don't like to try it and if everything's ok and they're fine then I might consider using it, in-fact I might not use it even then coz you never know.

"It says that more research will need to be conducted to measure the actual amount of electrical stimulation increase in the eye whilst the long term effects of the procedure will require further investigation."

Sounds like another one of those "scientists discover cure to cancer" news articles that you read once, and never hear about ever again.

If anything, we will all be old and grey before a product like this is widely available for purchase.

It might sound like something straight out of Q’s laboratory or the latest Marvel film but a group of scientists in California have successfully created eye drops that temporarily enable night vision.

Science for the Masses, an independent “citizen science” organisation that operates from the city of Tehacapi, theorised that Chlorin e6 (Ce6), a natural molecule that can be created from algae and other green plants, could enhance eyesight in dark environments.

The molecule is found in some deep sea fish, forms the basis of some cancer therapies and has been previously prescribed intravenously for night blindness.
