This technology isn’t for generating images but for measuring what frequencies are present in light.
I’m not 100% sure on the specifics, but it sounds like they are using some mathematical properties of fourier transformations to either broaden the frequency response of sensors or simplify the math required to get the final result.
Hyperspectral cameras are designed to generate images from a matrix of light sensors.
This could maybe lead to spectral cameras (as in a camera where each pixel is the spectrum of light in that pixel), which could then generate images of arbitrary spectra, but I suspect that this sensor is still quite a bit larger than the sensors used in digital cameras these days. Even a hyperspectral camera doesn’t really care about what frequencies it measures, it’s just able to detect differences in amplitude at those frequencies and either doesn’t detect outside of that range or has something filtering the light outside of the range before it reaches the sensors.







Personally, I’d get bored and leave the tub before it even got that hot.
Though maybe you could do it for real using a Beast Games kinda format. Offer ten thousand dollars to anyone who can stay in a tub for 7 days (so they expect day 1 to be relatively easy), but start the boiling human experiment immediately.
Then, if everyone leaves before it gets to a boil, repeat the experiment but with slightly more money offered and continue increasing the offer until someone gets boiled alive to determine how much money you need to offer people to become the frog in the metaphor.
Or maybe if the money is raised too slowly it won’t make a difference and people will keep getting out when they are too uncomfortable.
