SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility of converting visible light from screens into infrared (IR) light and then back to visible light using specialized goggles. It is established that while downconversion can be achieved passively using suitable fluorophores or phosphors, upconversion necessitates additional energy, making the process complex. Active optical elements are required for effective implementation, particularly in imaging systems, indicating that the solution is not straightforward.
