I think I saw this in the back pages of my comic books.
Add a red filter to those IR lenses and you can see through clothing, like the Sony camcorder that was released in the nineties.
But can they see through the phone that they’re looking at while driving?
Next, they’ll come up with Momma vision that sees around corners if you’re misbehaving.
Chyna!
Yeah, but can you weld with ’em?
If it’s anything like my IR cameras I use for trapping, you’ll still need an IR emitter to see anything in the dark.
I’ve considered getting an IR floodlight for the home security cameras, but it made more sense to use visible lights that may scare them off when they came on.
I’d like to see the practical uses for these, since you don’t need them during the day and you’d need an IR flashlight at night.
I predict these contacts will be sold in vending machines in singles bar men’s rooms, right next to the condoms.
“Hey Guys! Want to know if she’s really hot?
Although with what you’re likely to find in singles bars these days, they also ought to sell Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses. You wouldn’t want it to be the end of your universe!
I don’t believe China

Would infrared contacts allow a better vision of little red bikinis?
Just the Itty Bitty Polka Dot ones
Uncle Al, not only to see if she’s hot but also to make sure it’s not Lola.
