Joy-Con IR camera has another use?

I am wondering if it would be feasible to put an IR camera behind a transparent R button, but the necessary parts to make a button work would probably block an IR camera that needed to sit deeper within the controller. If it still worked somehow though, the R button would obviously not be used in games with IR pointing because you can't have a finger blocking the camera.

 

Yes, on the bottom was the only place to place the IR camera. The Joy-Con info graphic says the camera can detect shapes, movement and distance. Maybe it can use that information to help keep the Joy-Cons oriented. Its just a theory, a Switch theory.

You could also put it at the side:

And if it had the biometric sensor it would be much easier to read a pulse while holding the thing.
