Don't know if 2W is supply power or emitted power, nor the angle of the emitted beam, but IR light in that wavelength range is potentially hazardous, since the eye generally won't react to it by blinking or closing.

This doesn't make it impossible, but it makes both IR and visible light a bit more challenging.

This is so true. We used a Kinect as a IR camera for Rebound Rumble. We were amazed how bright the nets appeared in our image.
