One tip from someone that has worked with IR emitters/detectors: make sure your product can handle direct and reflected sunlight.

I'd hate to see you getting all the way through a kickstarter and then finding out you need to rework your frame to reject ambient and stray IR.

Don't these types of systems always use AC modulation for just that reason?

Usually. Not always.
