Yeas ago I got to playing around with some Pseudo IR Glasses. Obviously our eyes can't see IR light but we can see some of the Upper fringes of it.
These are worthless with a few exceptions. They block out 95% of the light your eyes and mind are use to working with and using. They allow you to see things in a different light so to say. I used them a few times to aid in locating old home foundations, roads and paths my eyes simply couldn't see under normal lighting. Never tried but they may help in recognizing different grounds and mineralogy of area's you would normally notice.
