Night vision devices are used to intensify human sight in the darkness. They were developed for military use. As far as I read, the US military established a night vision technology development program by the late 1940s. Of course, these devices couldn’t even come near to those I’ve seen on http://www.atncorp.com/nightvision website.

Devices used to enhance vision at night have been around since World War II. The early prototypes were called “sniperscopes” (or snooperscopes) and were calculated by the United States army in order to help snipers both in World World II and in the Korean War.
