The type of light (infrared or ultraviolet) no longer makes a difference. You just see in the dark. Makes things much simpler.....

The more or less is important because there are significant differences between the two systems, especially in how they worked with regular vision and how infravision was technically divided into active / passive which was completely dropped in the conversion. In addition there are a number of non vison systems that have been inporpotated as well allowing some degree of knowledge of enemies even for those deprived of sight.
