This is a very short video that I shoot just to see if the laser of an old CD burner that I still have is an infrared one. At this first look it seems ok for my multitouch applications as I cannot see it with my eyes but only with the IR-enabled webcam that I used for shooting this video. I don't know its frequency, it should be around 780 nm.
