Class 2 is unlikely to damage your eyes but could do if you do something stupid with it.

Class 3 ono isa bad idea.

The class 1, 2 and 3 apply only to visible lasers not IR. Lack of any blink reflex for IR throws things off. I haven't been able to find any IR specific guidelines like the 1, 2, 3 classes. And now there is a newer classification system even for visible. I've been using both IR and visible lasers for my virtual range project and with the powers I'm using (fit class 1 and 2 above) I'm not worried. Just follow Tichgamers' advice above - don't do stupid things. I'm not worried about reflections off my projector screen and I have no mirrors in the area. No kids either to worry about.

From what I understand of it the fact you cant see it is not as important as the power output of it.

Ie a high powered laser will burn you eye out.
But the class of laser is relational to the power.

So theoretically (not that I would recommend this of course!) you could stare at the business end of a class 1 laser and not do any permanent damage to your eye.

Class 2 I believe it will damage your eye if its over a prolonged period (i think)

And class 3 ono you are going to do damage.

I could be totally wrong of course, But thats my understanding.

Still dont do stupid ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and it shouldnt be a problem lol

Totally agree that power is going to be the major factor. But every time I look for info on IR laser classes I find visible light tables that are very careful to have a disclaimer that they only apply to visible lasers. I have the think that IR has some extra juicy goodness going on. But it does still boil down to this:

Its only restricted to a very small area though.

I would like to see it over a much bigger are.

I dont like the idea of a solution where I need a camera behind me or the screen either if I am honest as it makes it to hard to cabinet fit it.

Howard_Casto:
Yeah we've basically got to get a webcam to get an entire monitor in the shot when it's only a foot or so from the screen. You can do it, but like I was talking about earlier, it's going to be at an extreme angle so the monitor edges are going to be very skewed and software is going to have to compensate. Another option is to mount the camera on the ceiling, but then you can't move the cabinet and it might not work with really tall people ect.
