Light Touch projector uses freakn’ laser beams!

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

So what is this thing?  It’s the Light Touch from Light Blue Optics and it uses a laser projector to turn any flat surface into an auto-focused and image-adjusted 10-inch touchscreen.  This is one of the coolest things I think that came out of CES this year, I just suck at posting things on time.

Check after the break for more info some in use pictures and a video, cause everybody likes videos. Read More

12X Star Trek Phaser Mod, pew pew

This is one of the coolest DIY projects I’ve seen in a while, not to mention geekiest.  Jay “Scotty” Rob has made a 12x Star Trek Phaser.  I know that laser pointers are bad for your eyes but this one takes it too a whole new level.  I uses a Blu-ray laser to reek havoc on balloons and no telling what else.

You can make one of these bad boys your self by following  Jayrob’s DIY guide here.  Happy Modding!

Collapsible lampshade seems impossible, built with lasers

This lampshade is awesome even though it’s not as simple as that Egg Carton Lampshade I think it’s more impressive.  Even more impressive than the final product is the way this unusual lampshade was created:

“The process works by sweeping a laser across a pan of powdered nylon; when the lasers hit the nylon, it fuses (“sinters”). The process repeats in layers, until the final product emerges. Thus, you can create interlocking shapes all at once–for example, a chain whose links are completely closed.”

Take a look at this video after the break and you’ll see how it unfurls: Read More
