Tactical Vision.

Night vision, simulated thermal or tactical mono, with an optional HUD.

Drag to compare. Left: the original clip. Right: the same clip through tactical.vision, rendered by the app.

What does it do?

Tactical Vision restyles the picture as night vision, a simulated thermal view or a tactical monochrome screen, with grain, scanlines, glow, flicker and a heads-up display (crosshair, frame, compass, time, REC, coordinates). The thermal look is simulated from brightness, not real heat. This demo uses the default settings.

Creative ideas
