Autofluorescence is a phenomenon found in many plants, insects and some animals which enable them to essentially glow in the dark. More research is being conducted on this, but the function appears to be related to evolutionary survival factors. Ants have been photographed showing autofluorescence.
No AI used, just good old-fashioned Photoshop. A speculative design for an electronic wearable cloak and headpiece inspired by a bull ant’s brilliant night vision.
The design incorporates a dark fabric cloak using fibre optics and LEDs activated by a light sensor that is triggered by movement into the dark. The antennae sense vibratory sound.
