The IR sensor doubles as a camera, so this capability will be available.


Wait, how does that work? Is there a visible light camera packaged with the IR sensor? Or does the IR sensor also detect visible light at a high enough resolution to be used as a normal camera? Or am I misunderstanding completely?


It's pretty common for CCD cameras to sense near infared as well as visible light, without a filter to block one or the other.


Can't wait! If they implement something like VTOL VR HMCS[0], it would be a dream come true:
