ANIMAL VISION Vs HUMAN VISION

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

ANIMAL VISION Vs HUMAN VISION

Post by sultanshabeer » Thu Mar 03, 2011 11:12 am

OPTIFADE™ – THE SCIENCE OF INVISIBILITY

http://www.beretta.com/beretta-internat ... 3&did=1317

OPTIFADE™ is the incredible new technology that Beretta offers to ungulate hunting enthusiasts. It is the first camoufl age system developed around animal - and not human - vision and created following a research project promoted by W.L. Gore&Associates that teamed up the world’s most authoritative experts in the field of animal vision, fabrics technology, mimicry and hunting. The revolutionary idea is to break up the symmetry of the human body that ungulates recognise and associate with predators with macro patterns and blend it with the rest of environment with micro patterns.
Therefore this is no longer a simple imitation of the surrounding environment, but an innovative camoufl age that blends, rather than hiding: preys can see hunters, but they are no longer able to identify them as predators and therefore as an imminent danger.
This allows you to get up incredibly close to the animal.
The pattern no longer consists of leaves and shrubs (effective at a very close range, but simple blocs of colour easily identifi able at a distance), but of shapes that disorientate the animal’s vision at whatever distance, both in ambush and stalking hunts.
A cutting-edge technology that Beretta has been able to develop in three different versions: DWS, to deal with colder climates, WINDSTOPPER, to shield yourself during days of strong wind and 500 ELP, to face warmer climates and stormy days.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW DEER SEE?
Ungulates have an extremely wide field of view, up to 280° to quickly identify preys, predators and potential threats. However, this is to the detriment of the quality of vision: they recognise shapes and spots, but they rely on other senses to better identify them. Moreover, whilst human beings with their trichromatic vision can see the whole colour scale, ungulates have a dichromatic vision: they cannot see red and see the world in yellow, blue and grey. This is why the coloured geometric shapes developed by OPTIFADE™ disorient animals and their eyes.

fine how about the human smell? wild animals whos vision is not good relay on small and hearing also movements.

deers can smell and hear a long way off. so eye ball to eye ball contact thus is not a major factor to take account off.

sounds like another gimick :cry:

if you say it can not be done, then you are right, for you, it can not be done.

Like Nagarifle said I have my doubts, if true I think it is unfair advantage.
