Sticky Light: Catch A Laser In Your Hands

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets — Laura Moncur @ 12:41 pm

Check out this cool video of a new laser/audio technology.

Here is the team that put this together:

  • Alvaro Cassinelli: concept, software and hardware development
  • Daito Manabe: sound concept and sound generation
  • Kuribara Yusaku: latest software development including contour tracking and interface
  • Stephane Perrin: participated in early development of the smart laser scanner technology used for tracking.

They call it Sticky Light:

A laser spot bounces on a figure being drawn on paper, trying to escape the labyrinth of lines. There is no camera nor projector; this is an experience where the audience can touch and interact with a beam of pure light – and even play a pong game with bare hands. The quality of the laser light, and the fluidity of the motion makes for a very unique experience.

This project is in development right now, but wouldn’t it be a fun toy to have at a party? I can’t wait until we can buy one at the local Radio Shack!
