It is still an IR Light and completely eye safe technology. yet, I was also wondering why he has his eyes shut. It ISNāT to protect his eyes, thatās for sure.
Since MIRACO uses infrared structured light, this is completely harmless.
Travisā eyes are closed in the video because he canāt stop blinking, and we keep his eyes closed in order to achieve the most perfect video effect.
Some people like for example my husband canāt handle the blinking light of the LEDs and many others canāt too . Plus the blinking LED make my husband blinking as well and he get dizzy while rotating when his eyes are open, me too btw ā¦
I prefer to scan people with closed eyes , as it is much easier for me to work later with modeling for animation based on the scan .
The infrared laser is less harmful than you walking outdoors on a sunny day without sun glasses .
