Sounds like quite a good solution actually, low latency and all. Do you know if they fitted any filter over the headset cams to protect those just in case?

Why would they need a filter? The laser light isn't making it directly to the eyeballs of the wearer.

The worst you'll get is 100% illumination on all pixels on the LCD inside the headset.

You can't stare at the Sun, but you can stare at a video of the Sun.

The question is clearly about protecting the camera from the laser.

Well white laser cannot be blocked with normal Kameras.

camera sensors are pretty easy to damage. a lot of people destroy their cameras by filming solar eclipses without taking any precaution

Yes, definitely. You will want to protect your camera sensor from a direct hit by a laser (or even an indirect one). Diffused is probably ok.

White laser? Rgb or something else

No, normal Laser which goes through a non linear optimal element. See supercontinuum
