I know they're not of the night-vision spectrum, but let's face it, black light... or the white light of your notebook monitor... you're still likely to get shot!

And speaking of which, aren't your night-vision goggles going to go ape-shit and blind you when you look up at the pure white LCD anyway?!]]>Oct 11th 2007 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/Oct 11th 2007 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/

Yes, but the issue is that night vision is *too sensitive* here, and the photocathode material used in Gen III scopes is especially sensitive to IR, so even a weak IR source makes it bloom horribly. You actually want something blue or violet in color, which the photocathode is not sensitive to. I'm guessing this is blue LEDs with a filter to shift it to almost-UV.

"Great invention for those military people surfing online with night vision on. Too bad the monitor will most likely rape your eyes."

The issue is in vehicles which have a lot of computers and comm gear, the instrumentation will cause reflections off the inside of the windows that blind night vision and thus hurt visibility at night, because the reflections on every window are brighter than what's outside of them. Rolling down the window isn't a good idea because the windows are ballistic glass.

Not everyone has night vision, so a lot of the instrumentation is red (to preserve natural human night vision), though in aircraft which can primarily navigate via night vision almost all of it is blue now.

They aren't web browsing, and not all the buttons are connected to something with an obvious display.]]>Oct 11th 2007 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/11/ikey-unveils-night-vision-compatible-keyboards/
