I wonder if you could emulate the IR filter similar to how the K3 emulates an anti-aliasing filter? (I think that AA filter emulation feature first appeared in the K-3)

I.E. remove the physical IR filter from the camera and have the firmware/software "filter" the IR for "normal" photography & turn the "filter" off when you wanted to do IR?

You can't make something out of nothing. Normal DSLRs have a strong
anti-IR-filter in front of the sensor.

If the infrared light doesn't reach the sensor you can't make it
magically reappear using a 'curve'. It will never look like the real thing:

It's like trying to fake stereo out of a mono recording.
