IR-Switch is a Nintendo Switch homebrew application that streams and displays the IR camera feed from the right Joy-Con to the Switch screen.
Features
- Change the resolution.
- Hide the UI.
- Switch between greyscale and thermal colour.
- The thermal colour mode shows the amount of InfaRed light that is recieved by the InfraRed sensor. It is NOT a thermal camera because the sensor only detects shorter infrared wavelengths of around 850-940nm that are emitted by a TV remote for example. It cannot detect heat's wavelength.
- Turn on and off the IR led off.
- Detach the controllers to use like a mini camera.
Installation
Download the release ZIP, extract files to your Switch SD card root, and launch via Homebrew Menu on custom firmware.
Right Joy-Con required; detach for optimal use.
