  • Overloaded CCD video cameras produce vertical stripes. It always happens with mine whenever the sun is in view.

    If the mouse LED has high-freq chopping, then the vertical bar seen by your camera will become a dotted line.

  • uh yeah dude, it will display it. and the infrared will show up as the blue/white color on the monitor. I WOULD KNOW THIS BECAUSE WE STUDIED THIS EXACT PHENOMENA IN MY AP PHYSICS CLASS LAST YEAR

    the red light shown in video is the regular red light that some mice have, which is there to support the infrared sensing. only the white/blue light is the infrared

    sit down bitch

see all

  • Does it float?

  • It's a lens flare from the red laser light and it's pulsating with the frame rate of the camera showing these blue dots like that....

  • @Thecatboi again?

  • Its Doctor Who trying to take over the world again...

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum

    Cogito ergo cogito sum?

    Hats off!!

    You either know your latin very well, or you really don't at all... what is it?

    What means your "YOU-sername" exactly?

  • @FERRETMAN9 Don't feed the troll!!

  • ah the mysterious world of Laserology. why nerd? why?

  • That is definitely CCD overload, from the brightness of the light.. and your cameras internal color correction mechanisms are trying to fix it over and over again.. ALSO, if that LED has a high Infra red content, it could be making your cameras auto-brightness and auto focus systems freak out (as both sense infra-red light to do their job) the camera doesn't know weather its reading it's own infra red data, or that of the LED in the mouse..

  • EMPs from the laser getting in the camera...or a glitch in the matrix like posted below lmao

  • HELLO ....... I Have A video of a SUN HALO OVER NEW YORK CITY on March 30 2011. what are they ?????
