Originally Published 2 years ago — by Earth.com
A new camera system developed by researchers at the University of Sussex and George Mason University can capture and process videos under natural lighting conditions, replicating animal vision based on known photoreceptor data. This innovation provides unprecedented insights into how animals perceive color, offering new avenues for scientific research and enabling filmmakers to create more accurate representations of animal vision. The system, constructed from readily available commercial cameras and open-source software, bridges the gap between human and animal perception, marking a significant advancement in the study of animal behavior and perception.
