Interesting. Kinect just covers EVERYTHING with Infrared Dots.

Neat, certainly something you don't always consider.

super cool. definitely didn't think that was how it worked and the coverage/resolution looks pretty impressive.

That has to be a IR LASER to get spots that nice. I wonder how bad that is to be blasting your eyes with IR light like that.

the Kinect definitely can cause eye damage...
