Can you measure it or just read the specs the manufacturer say?

You could be right about the fact that the retina doesn't close to protect against non-visible light, i didn't think about that. On the other hand, all IR wavelengths are still below visible light energies. You don't need manufacturer specs to tell you that, IR is on the lower end of the spectrum according to elementary physics. If it's a higher energy, it's not IR anymore but something else

To be perfectly accurate we would need to calculate the intensity and volume of the radiation and not just the energy, but like others have said it's obvious that the kind of LEDs used in head-tracking devices are low powered compared to other applications.

Well just don't be clever and try and use industrial IR lasers for illumination.

I would probably also avoid pointing a military night vision IR spotlight directly into your face from 1m away as well

In those cases near light frequency IR radiation damage occurs through focusing the IR on the retina which heats up.

Apparently the IR LEDs used in domestic appliances like TV remotes simply do not have the power to do that.

I am here on this site looking for a link in which a few years back ,, I was able to change a file In il2 1946 and It than became 6dof , instead of 2 dof , I had a english version installed on my computer , But when I installed this new exe file ,, Or as I remember . the loading language was in russian from being In english , and What I saw Is I had 6dof In il2 using a tracker ir4 system .. Its annoying after not playing Il2 and than re-starting to keep index fingering a close up shot within the cocpit and I guess I got spoiled with that 6dof . However When I was playing Online In a warbirds server , i got kicked out of the server because I was considered modded .. well I dont especially wish to fly online anymore .. but I would like to find that exe or whatever it was that changed my 2dof to 6 dof .. I had a site that I am searching and not having any luck finding it again , My last rig got stolen and all those files were lost .. anyone have an I dea ? I think it was All aircraft Index .. Gonna search again .. Still a tracker Ir fan I have the 6dof tracker ir 5

Thanks gents

the 6dof mod of Jsgme/UP2.1? maybe?

6DOF does make a tremendous difference and it works extremely well in IL1946. I am suprised that it was never included in any of the official updates.
