This seems like a neat little project but I find it's claims that it allows view of infra-red light a bit dubious.

As they mention in the video infra-red light is, by it's nature, invisible. The low pass filter they talk about constructing would certainly block out a large portion of the visible spectrum, but I do not see how it would bring infrared light up into the visible portion of the spectrum for your eyes to detect.

I suspect this project just lets through some narrow set of wavelengths in the visible spectrum that your eye isn't normally able to pick out from the broad spectrum it typically receives.
