DIY Project: Cheap night vision for night play

Personally, I don't play at night because my eyes don't work that great at night and it has been nothing but an exercise in frustration but I know others enjoy the night games. I found this guy that took one of the $20 CVS DigiCams and made it into a cheap night vision device that I thought might be interesting for paintball.

CVS Camcorder based night vision

Ever try anything like this?

How would you be able to fit this through a mask and still be able to protect your eyes? That would be my biggest worry. The night games I have played any type of light becomes a huge beacon for overshooting, and i would not want my peepers being attached to the light.

LOL, that struck me funny.

You couldn't look around it, but as long as it worked, you'd be alright..
