| - | [* black] Looking through the headset is cool, but right now we're more interested in looking ''at'' them. We pull out our trusty IR camera, which reveals a bustling network of IR activity. |
| - | [* black] There looks to be one IR strobe on the nose of the goggles—possibly to help with positioning and object tracking—and four IR blasters in each lens—probably to help with eye tracking. |
