@globalmuseum No I wonder if someone in the future would invent implants for expanding human vision...

@madargon @globalmuseum I believe there are already some people with four types of cones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrachromacy#Humans

@globalmuseum It makes me wonder how we humans look to birds... Which probably is rather drab?

IIRC most mammals have only two types of cones (color vision cells). I saw once how a tiger would blend pretty well in the greenery from the perspective of it's prey, and it's a close analogy to the analogy by the OP
