"Capturing the World: A Camera's Animal-Eye Perspective"

Scientists have developed a camera system and software package that allows recording videos in animal-view colors, revealing how various species perceive the world in different colors due to their unique vision capabilities, including sensitivity to ultraviolet light. The new camera system, which records in ultraviolet and visible light simultaneously, enables the visualization of movement in animal-view colors, offering insights into how animals see the world and potential applications in various research areas, such as understanding animal behaviors and improving visibility for birds to prevent collisions with glass facades. The researchers have made the codes and camera system plans freely available online for other researchers to use and explore the possibilities of studying animal vision.
