Mimicing Colour Infrared

| What about mimicing color IR with a digital camera?

Have a look at http://www.atsf.co.uk/ilight/tech/colmap.html which 
uses a PC7 to generate RGB and IR images of a scene and then shows 
how they can be combined, including a simulation of colour infrared 
film. In this case I used a video camera simply because I don't have 
a still one (as yet) but the same principle can be applied as long as 
the scene is static and the camera is fixed (eg on a tripod). The 
rest, as they say, is Photoshop.

In theory I would assume a camera manufacturer could make an RGBI 
camera which can then be used to produce composite images as desired: 
very useful for forensic work. Does anyone know if this has been done 
and if so, by whom?

Cheers
