Kinda boring, but I thought it was interesting that RSv2 seems to be able to "see" the IR my tv remote is sending out for the volume up/down.

Not too surprising.

Turn that remote towards the camera the next time you're taking a video, and you'll see that it looks like a flashlight for IR sensing digital devices. We can't see it, but the camera (and robot, I assume) see a brilliant beacon.

It makes using a camera with IR ranging a bit of a problem for filming a robot in its native environment. The very act of using a camera can affect how the robot behaves.

Typical IR interference....sometimes somewhat problematic...
