it might be useful indoor, while outdoor … well, if it's not blind due to the infrared components of the sunlight
Did you take a look at the KS page? Or the site? Its been designed to allow usage in outdoor environments. In other words, it is closer in spec to more expensive LIDAR offerings of the past (though probably no-where near as environmentally robust - ie, don't stick one of these Sweep units on the front of some construction equipment or in some kind of industrial environment).
