But that’s not how he sees, or how any of this works 🤦
Things that see stuff in the (to us) non-visible spectrum don’t see it in the visible light spectrum.
An insect that sees ultraviolet light doesn’t see it how we see it when we apply a camera filter to view it. That’s just the camera shifting it to our visible light spectrum, because we can’t see ultraviolet.
A screen showing an image in ultraviolet light would not be usable to us.
The viewscreen Picard was looking at wasn’t magically adding cones to his eyes and allowing him to see a wider range of the light spectrum. It was showing a representation in the visible light spectrum of what the visor can detect.
