The possibility to use light in the visible spectrum to induce near-infrared luminescence in some materials, particularly Egyptian blue and related pigments, offers a significant advantage in terms of their detection. Since 2008, this property has been exploited to reveal the presence of those pigments even in tiny amounts on ancient and decayed surfaces, using a technical-photography method. This paper presents a new type of imaging device that enables real-time, easy, and inexpensive identification and mapping of Egyptian blue and related materials. The potential of the new tool is demonstrated by its effectiveness in detecting Egyptian blue within some prestigious sites: (a) Egyptian findings at Museo Egizio, Turin; (b) underground Roman frescoes at Domus Aurea, Rome; and (c) Renaissance frescoes by Raphael, Triumph of Galatea and Loggia of Cupid and Psyche, at Villa Farnesina, Rome. The device is based on night vision technology and allows an unprecedented fast, versatile, and user-friendly approach. It is employable by professionals including archeologists, conservators, and conservation scientists, as well as by untrained individuals such as students or tourists at museums and sites. The overall aim is not to replace existing photographic techniques but to develop a tool that enables rapid preliminary recognition, useful for planning the work to be carried out with conventional methods. The ability to immediately track Egyptian blue and related pigments, through real-time vision, photos, and videos, also provides a new kind of immersive experience (Blue Vision) and can foster the modern use of these materials in innovative applications and future technologies.

使用可见光谱中的光在某些材料（特别是埃及蓝和相关颜料）中诱导近红外发光的可能性，在其检测方面提供了显着的优势。自 2008 年以来，人们利用技术摄影方法，利用这一特性来揭示这些颜料的存在，即使是在古老和腐烂的表面上的微量颜料。本文提出了一种新型成像设备，可以实时、轻松且廉价地识别和绘制埃及蓝及相关材料。新工具的潜力体现在它在一些著名地点检测埃及蓝的有效性：(a) 都灵埃及博物馆的埃及发现； (b) 罗马金宫的地下罗马壁画； (c) 拉斐尔的文艺复兴时期壁画《加拉泰亚的凯旋》以及丘比特和普赛克的凉廊，位于罗马法尔内西纳别墅。该设备基于夜视技术，可实现前所未有的快速、多功能且用户友好的方法。它适用于包括考古学家、保护人员和保护科学家在内的专业人士，以及博物馆和遗址中的学生或游客等未经培训的个人。总体目标不是取代现有的摄影技术，而是开发一种能够快速进行初步识别的工具，有助于规划用传统方法进行的工作。通过实时视觉、照片和视频立即跟踪埃及蓝和相关颜料的能力还提供了一种新型的沉浸式体验（蓝色视觉），并可以促进这些材料在创新应用和未来技术中的现代使用。
