What Hacker News says?
Compare human cone cell spectral sensitivity to the camera modules inside the glasses. [0][1] Usually digital cameras have some major differences from human eyes, particularly near UV and IR. Find dyes with spectral albedo that integrates to the same strengths for (most) humans' cones, but not for the glasses. Though human eyes have pretty good dynamic range, and some degree of variation. Maybe add dithering around…
