As a consequence of the lack of any lights we are accommodated to, there would not exist any phenomenon related to it such as shadows, colors, reflections, refractions, which normally help our orientation in the surrounding world. Without lights we are kind of blinded even with senses in good health, in such an environment human eyes seem to be useless.
In -384THz (which referres to the lowest limit of electromagnetic waves human eyes are able to perceive) I rebuilt a monochrome world and simulated dark, smoky "anti-light" to expose how human perception reacts on reversed materials which means, in this case the opposite of lights. The result is very similar to the ultrasound and other images based on electromagnetic waves - we can exclusively perceive the depth of the environment and only at the spots where the waves surrounds the objects.
I have been investigating the optical phenomena that characterize our world since 2007 by simulating the opposites of some well-known illusions. This video is the newest piece of the series.
