	I won't be processing the video with a computer at this time.  The
display will only be showing the video from the camera.  There is no
computer.

	I think we're on different wavelengths here - I'm not interested
in recognizing objects or drawing a laser line or anything.

	I want a camera that can "see" the dot (think laser pointer dot)
that an infrared laser is projecting.  The human eye cannot see this dot
(only the camera can).  Parts suggestions for such a camera or camera
filter are sought!  I have many areas of inexpertise, and his particular
field of optics is one of them.  :)

	Also, I will be using the camera with a display in an EyeTap
configuration.  So suggestions on a suitable lens (camera lens, display
lens) are also sought.  (The camera's field of view needs to be approx.
equal to the display's virtual image size).   Suggestions on making
corrections are also useful.

	Thanks!  And I hope that makes things a little clearer.
