Re: Kinect is Legal for Both Drive Station and Field Use (Here’s why)

I check my Kinect and found it to have a Class 1 safty rating

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety#Class_1

Class 1 LASER PRODUCT
A class 1 laser is safe under all conditions of normal use.

I will ask the GDC.

But just in case there is a problem,

I checked on the Kinect IR Emitter and found to run at the same frequency as tv remotes 830nm with a static image generated by a 30000 point caustic patterend grate. Would it be possible to replace the Kinect IR Emitter with a standard IR led of the same power ratting. FIRST uses IR leds everwhere.

What do you think?
