Its meant to work by combining existing photography methods with novel hardware and software.

The team’s novel camera system was used to depict a UV-sensitive bird’s color vision of three orange sulphur butterflies (Colias eurytheme) in their natural environment. The inner box shows what a typical person would see.Image: Daniel Hanley
Our new approach provides a valuable degree of scientific accuracy enabling our videos to be used for scientific purposes.
The team already has plans to use their novel technology to improve future nature documentaries.
They also believe that this system will allow them to make new scientific discoveries.
We believe that this will speed up the development, to everyones benefit.
