Sticky Light: Catch A Laser In Your Hands
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!
