These rods and cones are part of the reason why they have such great night vision! Although we humans have rods and cones too, theirs work just a little different than ours. Rods let us see black and white and cones let us see color. Rods work even in dim light, but cones need a lot of light to allow us to see colors. Well, Owls have a lot more rods and a lot few cones. Owls have a lot better vision at night because of this. They also have a sort of mirror called tapetum lucidum which reflects the light back through those rods again allowing the owl more opportunities to filter that light.

The original prototype help the infrared LED lights on the sides of the glasses which would be right in front of the ear. This was a bulky design and would look weird and give away the glasses. I made changes to the original prototype so that the LED light was built into the top rim of the glasses and acting as a design right above the lenses. The LED light appears to be a circle design on the lens, making in unrecognizable. This is also better placement for the light so that there is a greater and more consistent coverage at night for the viewers eye sight range.

These night vision glasses will look like any old sunglasses, therefore others will not know that they are really night vision glasses. There will also be a pair that looks like regular glasses if you choose to purchase those. These glasses could also aide in allowing one to spy or sneak around late at night without others knowing you are there.

This organism can help humans to see more efficiently at night. Humans will be able to detect other humans and animals easier at night. They will help increase the humans ability to keep ones self safe at night. These night vision glasses will allow them to use the glasses during the day as sunglasses and then as it gets darker they will adapt to the change of light converting to night vision glasses.

For this biomimicry project, I have chosen to focus on the night vision of an owl. I have always had an interest in owls, so when I heard about this project I began to look around at different qualities the owl carries, that's when I came across their night vision ability. Owls have some of the best night vision among many birds. To better explain why owls have such great night vision it is important to know the two types of receptors that they have which are rods and cones.
