Your eyes cannot see infra-red (or ultra-violet). Passing light through a filter does not change the frequency (color = frequency). What you are seeing is ordinary visible light, minus the frequencies blocked by the filters. I know this is an old article, but you should be ashamed for posting pseudo-science, and for never making a correction. This is … really dumb.

The heat given off by our own bodies would produce too much interference to make any infra-red receptors an evolutionary advantage. Warm blooded mammals such as humans cannot see in infrared.

No pair of passive goggles is going to make your eyes sensitive to "invisible" wavelengths. They call them "invisible" for a reason. YOU CAN'T SEE THEM! Duh. BohhhhhhhhhGus!
