Researchers have developed a system using modified commercial cameras and video processing to simulate how different animals perceive color, capturing blue, green, red, and UV light. The system adjusts images based on known animal photoreceptor data to approximate non-human vision. It covers a range of animals from colorblind dogs to UV-seeing birds and bees, while noting interesting edge cases like IR-sensing snakes and the mantis shrimp's 12-16 photoreceptor types.
