I love that there was an ir camera on the joycons for all the time and no one had any idea what it was for, like the only thing that used it was this weird thing in 1 2 Switch, but lol actually it turns cardboard into videogames.

I understand all your words but I didn't still see anything like that in the video.

My guess is that they wanted to make something that appeals to parents something fierce and something physical and low-tech might win legitimacy points on that front. Maybe they'll educate parents about save points, too, soon?

They actually did have patents describing using the IR camera to track objects in 3D space. On the other site's /r/nintendo a while someone predicted a toy set based around that feature. Wish I could find the thread now, but everyone thought it was too much of a stretch and it was probably just another one of those random patents that wouldn't go anywhere, lol.
