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.

Controls

Press Left Stick - Hide/Show UI

D-Pad Up/Down - Switch between thermal/greyscale

D-Pad Left/Right - Change resolution

Minus button - Toggle IR LED off

Note: Higher resolution for the IR camera slows down the camera speed while lower resolution speeds up the camera speed.
