Yes, line of sight. Hmmm . . .

A real challenge would be inventing some way
of "broadcasting" such a light-spectrum signal.
I suppose with a little thought (or a lot) one
could devise a roughly circular array of emitters
and receptors . . . although finding a way to
multiplex that would require more engineering
skill than I have . . . alternatively, each channel
could simply be assigned its own frequency.
</dream mode>
But, for what this design was intended, it's
brilliant: it takes the IrDA support circuitry
that's already on most newer mother boards
and routes it through a modified version of
that kind of hardware, taking advantage of
existing network drivers! Sweet.
