skulpture User Apr 20, 2008, 1:26 PM Post #1 of 5 (1087 views) Shortcut iSight & InfraRed Can't Post Hello All. Not a completely 'Isadora' related post but I was wondering if it is possible to use my MBP iSight camera as an infrared input? If I use an infrared light or LED the iSight camera should pick it up... am I right? Then I should be able to get X, Y and possibly a Z (depth-if the LED or light gets bigger or smaller) Am I being naive ? An instant without duration.... www.grahamthorne.co.uk

That was easy enough! An instant without duration.... www.grahamthorne.co.uk

This makes a DIY IR filter which should help isolate the IR. You might need to double the negative over. Gav

It's about $13 for two, and you can cut them up to fit on your lens.
