So I'm a complete newbie to these forums and I just joined these because I'm building my first IR 300 mw 808nm laser(not yet started).
I thought that since I own a gear vr headset ,and my Samsung galaxy s7 edge could easily "see" infrared why not use the gear vr camera while working with the laser.
As far as I know no one has tried using VR as a laser safety measure so I hope someone with more experience (with lasers) can answer this.
Would this be better or worse than conventional goggles?
Is there any possible way I could go blind if I'm using a gear vr?
Can my laser damage my phone camera? If so could I use an IR filter on my cam to solve the issue?
Is it possible to use VR as a universal safety for any laser?
PS. I am aware of the conventional laser safety and I am going to purchase goggles if the above "hack" is not a good idea.
