This is a faq on making your very own, splinter-cell night vision headset! Maybe not as good as those things, but certainly very useable. For this you will need:
A camera (any camera realy, as long as it has an lcd screen ont he back. Size of screen doesnt matter)
Some negatives from pictures. Take a picture of something very white/bright+white. The brighter and whiter the better, and make sure it is very even. Like take a picture of a sheet of paper, so only the paper is seen, and have as many lightbulbs shining onthe paper as u can.
Also, you will need a headset and tools for working with hardware.
You may need a lens from some glasses.
4 infrared led’s , some wire, and a 1.5 v double a battery (the standard thing)
Directions:
Unscrew and take apart your camera.
Now find the actual lense asembly. Take that apart VERY carefully. You will see a couple of lenses in there. Find a square piece of glass kind of lens, should be the one closest to the electronics of the camera. Now, take that out with a scalpel or something similar. Be careful, dont smudge it, or ge tit dirty! If it has a red tint to it, get some alcohol (get the pure stuff, as pure as it gets) or maybe windex, and rub/scratch the tint off on BOTH sides. The quality of the removal of this tint is directly proportional to the quality of the final resulting product. Now, take the lense, measure its dimensions, and find the darkest spot on the negative that should come back with ur pictures. Thats the film from ur camera. Find tha tpicture u took of something white/bright. It should now look VERY dark. Check the whole film, to see if its the darkest part of it, if its not, select the darkest part of film you can find. Next, cut out 2 pieces of it, with the dimensions of your camera’s lense. Place the 2 dark pieces of negative film on either side of your lense, and stuff the whole thing back into the lense asembly. Put the camera back together, but dont close the case yet. Find a AA 1.5v battery, and insulate it with tape or something. Then attach 2 wires to it, on either ends obviously. You could soldier them on, if you know how to. Next, connect the 4 IR leds u bought to them. Now, drill some holes for the leds, on the front of the camera. Try to have the simetrical and be around your lense assembly. Then, put them leds in there, and double check to make sure all the leds are connected PROPERLY to the battery. Make sure the leds dont make any shortcircuits too. There - that part is done. The following is optional, and may be risky. If the lcd screen on your camera is connected with a wire of some sort, then do the following:
Take the lcd out, and make sure u dont sever the connection with the wire. Close the case, and make a hole for the wire. Now, mount the whole thing on your headset, and make sur ethe cmaera is right inthe middle of the headset. Now, mount the lcd RIGHT in front of your eye. Turnt he whole thing on,a nd now u can see everything in the dark! a pitch blavck room u cna see as in day.

Sep 08, 2006 10:44 pm - are you guys blind??? or did you see all that text and figured that it was a good egg so you just rated it without reading it? My comment is not that hard to miss.
Sep 08, 2006 11:21 pm - ^^^Since when does noting it’s a c/p help? My egg I made bored, as a joke, the first thing I said was that I’d originally posted on another site, and I got the shit blasted out of me for a c/p
Sep 09, 2006 4:20 am - this is a good egg. However, you did c/p it so that makes it worth nothing to me unless you put a reference to the website you c/p it from either at the star or end, which you did not do so fuck you. I don’t understand why you need to have the LED’s.
Sep 09, 2006 4:24 am - Another thing that I don’t understand is why the fuck did whoever the hell wrote this call it a FAQ? A FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions. The internet has too many dumbasses that just say things to try and sound like that have a frigin idea about the kind of bullshit the are talking about.
Mar 19, 2007 8:04 pm - very cool but will probly never do,all these fags that are rating u low can go suck their moms cock.5* for you and splinter cell PWNZ
