"Revolutionary Camera Reveals the World Through Animals' Eyes"

Scientists have developed a new camera system that can accurately capture and represent the colors seen by animals, such as bees and birds, using a combination of hardware and software. The system splits light between two cameras, one sensitive to ultraviolet light and the other to visible light, and then transforms the data into "perceptual units" corresponding to an animal's photoreceptor sensitivity. The technology was found to be 92-99% accurate compared to conventional methods and is intended for use in nature documentaries and scientific research. The researchers have made their software code open source and hope to inspire others to replicate and improve the system.
