The device consists of a camera, infrared laser to measure distance and a microchip that interprets the data to track people in 3D.
It has also scanned the surface of the planet using Mola (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter), which beams an infrared laser pulse towards the surface of the Red Planet 10 times a second.
The polymers return to a pre-defined shape when heated to a certain temperature, and, when damage is detected, an infrared laser sends light through the network to the damaged area, triggers the shape-memory, and commands the area to repair the crack or tear -- regaining up to 96 percent of its original strength.

The team has tested HoloHands by moving silica microspheres using the lab's otherwise standard infrared holographic laser system.
F15E Strike Eagles are equipped with the LANTIRN navigation and targeting system which aims to improve the accuracy of attacks by using infrared or laser-guided bombs.
It is equipped with advanced electronic, electro-optic, infrared and laser system technologies, as well as secure radio systems with data links and munitions capacity for 130 different types of weapons configurations.

The high average power infrared Free Electron Laser (FEL) provides intense beams of laser light that can be tuned to atmosphere-penetrating wavelengths.
The Light Touch can turn that image into a touch-screen that you can type on or swipe through with the help of a holographic laser projection and infrared sensor at the bottom of the device.
