Now I had the idea of using an IR laser when I first initially investigated the idea of 3d imaging, but I found out that they are EXPENSIVE. But I read that the laser in a CD/DVD reader is an IR laser, I would have to find out. Using a champagne cup's "neck" works fine as a prism. IDK I might consider it again
