Laser light shows?

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Anyone have or try those laser light generators to make images? I was thinking it would be kind of neat to use for a movie night show, but to me they just HAVE to be pretty crappy. (I'm talking about the ones you can get for a couple of hundred bucks) Anyone have one and can comment?

I don't know how big you could make this, but it looks fun

That is really cool! I showed my kids and they want to make one! Doesn't seem that hard.

Part with $125 - buy a modded XBOX running XBMC and run the screen saver when playing music. MUCH MUCH better.

I'm not so sure my backyard theatre experiences have the capacity and wallet to handle such a massive laser light show.

Hey thanks! Those would be pretty cool.

I have seen some instructables on making little casings for laser pointers that creates patterns as well -although it would cost probably a lot more than $14 to make.

On a related topic (and this has nothing to do with home theater), my wife and I are designing a road rally, and using a garage to place a series of green lasers (very, very bright), with a fog machine, mirrors and IR detecting alarm circuits (that I learned how to make from instructables.com). The theme of our road rally is "Spy v. Spy" (generally, not specifically the Mad Magazine guys...), so I am using this space to make a laser maze that the participants need to traverse. If they cut a beam, they set off one of three alarms. They lose points when they hit an alarm. Should be pretty cool.

I ordered the green lasers from fleabay (straight from hong kong) and I am absolutely stunned by how bright these things are. The red laser pointers don't show up all that well in a foggy room, but the green ones are SUPER bright.
