Abstract
An example system includes an infrared emitter to output infrared light towards a target, where the infrared light reflects from the target to produce reflected infrared light, and a detector to receive the reflected infrared light and to provide a signal based on the reflected infrared light. The system also includes a lighting system that includes a light emitter to output visible light, a mirror configured (i) to allow the visible light to pass through the mirror and to reflect the reflected infrared light onto the detector, or (ii) to allow the reflected infrared light to pass through the mirror and onto the detector and to reflect the visible light, and one or more optical elements configured to affect the visible light and the reflected infrared light.
