While reading "H is for Hawk" by Helen Macdonald I came across this statement:
"This hawk can see colours I cannot, right into the ultraviolet spectrum. She can see polarised light, too, watch thermals of warm air rise, roil, and spill into clouds......."

Not disputing this assertion would it be possible to have a display that did the same and we could see warm air rising......Is this like the heat waves rising over a hot highway in the distance,...perhaps something more sensitive, on our panel?
