An imager device for detecting light indicative of an image projected onto the device includes an arrangement of visible-light pixels. Each visible-light pixel is characterized by a first-area. The device also includes an arrangement of infrared pixels interleaved with the visible-light pixels. Each infrared pixel is characterized by a second-area greater than the first-area. The visible-light pixels are alternatively characterized by a first-resolution, so the infrared pixels are characterized by a second-resolution less than the first-resolution. The device also defines a plurality of pixel-cells. Each pixel-cell includes a visible-light pixel and a portion of an infrared pixel that is part of an adjacent pixel-cell.
