Night Vision "Glasses"?

[K9TXS]

This link shows new technology for glasses. If they work, it could be worth looking into.

Aint gonna be cheap! But it does work. Did some up-converting from red to green long time ago, not cheap.

We overcome these limitations and experimentally demonstrate high efficiency image up-conversion.

Now that's progress! Wonder about the time frame from lab to production?

So far it's just near IR (NV) to visible. Long IR to vis is more difficult. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.202402777
Once bucky balls and nanotechnology was discovered, much progress. Thin film stuff has been around for a long time but getting 'viewable' film requires the nano-tech. Expect 5 yr for commercial short wave and another 5 for long wave. Consider OLEDs, invented IIRC in the late 70s(brit that couldn't get anyone interested) but unused until the late 90s. Or amorphous silicon, Mr Sony bought patent as no other interest.
