I took a RAW landscape (unfortunately with an IR filter) and manually simulated what you describe after I read your comment. Granted, it has none of the EM spectrum and none of the IR, but just from a light standpoint it is fascinating. Now if only the visible, invisible and EM spectrums could be captured by a single sensor! Tailspin,

I wonder if software could interpolate and provide a smooth gradient across the spectrum? I always wanted to create a viewer, for lack of a better term, that would at least simulate what a landscape, say, would look like at different frequencies and bandwidths. That red glow? That's he cellphone tower. The blue glow, the TV spectrum, yellow broadcast-band radio. Wish I could help ya with the hack, but that's outta my league. Wow what a cool idea!
