Title by me™

Ever seen videos of people farting through IR cameras? Well, now we have infrared contact lenses, so be careful in front of whom you let go.

Also, did you know that this could be used to create night vision without visible equipment on the body?

Didn't read but those IR videos were clearly fake. The temperature difference isn't enough for the gases to be discernible in the camera
