P3D New ideas with lasers

Since my work often requires me to take 3D photos in less-than-optimum
lighting situations, I've been thinking of a simple way to focus my camera
when it's nearly impossible to see the outlines of people, or anything
vertical that would make focusing possible. So I've just ordered my solution
from a mail order company: a tiny laser pointer, which I intend to mount on
the camera. Then, whenever I need to focus, I can simply shine the beam at a
suitable spot away from the eyes, and when the two "dots" come together in the
rangefinder, I'm in focus!

Any thoughts on the efficacy or impending failure of this system?

Mark
