The IR sensor is used in Ring Fit Adventure, heart rate measurement. That's about all I can think of.

Honestly, for the price of one set of joycons I'd rather pick up two 8bit do ultimate controllers. That way both players get good controllers.

I think 1-2-Switch and Labo use it as well, but ultimately the IR sensors are basically unused.

I wonder how much it cost them to include it in every set of joycons, compared to how much they made selling games that use it.
