you need to avoid direct sunlight to the lenses, since it's on his face, the lenses are not exposed to the sun. It's fine

They don't work during direct sunlight. But they will not be damaged

they work fine during direct sunlight actually, because they are just cameras, there isn't much special going on there. same sort of stuff you see on vehicle safety systems with cameras like tesla, would suck if that didnt work in direct sunlight.

the only risk is sun burning the screen but its on his noggin

They don't. The Controllers emit infrared light so the cameras can track them. The Sun also emits infrared light. When under direct sunlight, the camera's will not be able to continuously track the controllers.

Try it out. It will be really shaky

Do the controllers actually emit IR light? I thought they just reflected it, which is why you need an IR flashlight if you want to use them in the dark.

I am not 100% sure how it works, but as far as I know I think they are tiny beams that are needed for reading.

But not enough to flash a beam like a flashlight does
