A white wall will not do anything even if you try to engrave using this. My other laser is twice the power and still will not. White reflects energy... This is why you would use black balloons to pop them... Just an FYI...
I feel like this could be fairly easily modified into becoming a weapon. Screw that old rumour of Saddam having a bunch of PS2s, this is more concerning.
It's only one watt of laser power, and two watts in the newest version. Much, much more powerful laser pointers exist and are more practical for nefarious uses, of which the only one is really blinding and disorienting people. Not exactly cutting-edge warfare tools.
Except with this you have to actively try to hurt yourself with this product, in order to hurt yourself...This product requires stupidity and severe recklessness of some kind, in order to hurt yourself....
Umm... no. It was made for laser shows. Weaponized lasers are usually pulsed or far, far more powerful. Look at laser cutting machines that can burn through a couple inches of steel. Those might actually have roots in weapon R&D programs. This stuff? It's just low power laser diodes and a scanning system that's pretty standard in the laser show industry. It is possible the scanning system has some roots in weapons R&D as well.
There are lots of Class IV lasers but most are used in performance venues by license professionals. Many are even more powerful then those used for medical uses.

"[...] vector graphics without having a vector monitor [...]" No, the lasercube, like pretty much any similar laser projector is very simular, or even the same as a vector display. Although in a laser projector you tilt tiny mirrors to move the beam and in a vector display you use electromagnets. It is still basicly just bending the beam, thus the flickering may occur, beacause if you have a lot of things on the screen, the slower moving mirrors (slower than a crt beam) just can't keep up and move so fast, that our dumb eyes, thanks to persistance of vision see it as a full line, but see the actual beam path wich as with any laser projector that doesn't use a separate laser diode for every part of the screen (wich would be not very efficient), it only can display the same ammount of dots at a time, as it has actuall lasers. [TLDR] it has only 3 lasers, so it can only display 3 dots at a time, and our dumb eyes, due to a persistance of vision, can blur them into solid lines, but if there's too much on the screen our eyes can see a part of the beam path that is not currently lit...

I love how it looks, maybe it would be better if through a normal projector I would add a specific background for each game, how would the Vectrex overlays go and even go one step further and be animated.

Maaan, I don't care for the weird angles, soft edges, and the wiggly and unfinished lines, they look absolute unique and awesome. Really makes this look different from anything else, and I much else prefer it that way, than to have it look like a projected image. This is cool!
The right word for this is nifty. Give it a few good years and a handful of passionate people and I can totally see myself projecting this on the side of a house
Honestly, looking back at it, I feel like they would be well served by just using a weaker laser. The image wouldn't be nearly as sharp, but it would be much less dangerous.
Even if it's potentially dangerous to use, this device gives the games a cool art style. It'd be nice to have other games that had this same neon aesthetic.

You reminded me of missile commander. Used to love that game. Which led me to find the game "missiles". Which I also forgot about and enjoy thoroughly.

Thanks for the video. Been researching the capabilities of lasers to repo vector displays for my Solaroids game project. I can see that the number of lines is very limited on this cube, and probably all but the faster 90k pps laser parts costing several thousands of dollars.
Talk about a whole new meaning to the term burn in.. like nexium levels of burn... Definitely the kind of device that you want to leave those static images on so you can have them forever! Talk about a whole new way to print screen! Man this really is a a all-in-one object it does all the things! It's a literal laser printer! Even has basic party crashing functionality, cuz you know what.. sometimes you just got to pop all the balloons and let everybody have a good cry.. it's how you teach kids and getting older ain't no walk in the park.. going to have to learn to live with disappointment.. and they'll get over it soon you know cuz it's like they got a freaking laser.. all their friends only got was robux, and this is where we can find out who's truly a friend or who's about to get burned! Absentee parenting am I right? It's the way, they got to learn themselves you know just let him let him do their thing let him be free don't don't get involved.. but you know buy them things cuz that's that's how you show that you love them and despite not wanting to actually bother with them I'll be around them they need you.. and thus parent!
This reminds me a device that I tried to design many years ago, which is basically a VGA monitor with laser display(I never finished it though). I tried to design it kinda like CRT(which moves beam quickly to make raster image) back in the day, but this one looks more like a vector display.
That is because they use Magnum Lighting for their OEM laser source. They make professional quality lasers of various power levels. If you look at the old LaserDock demos you can see their M-1000 has more true color renditions and less distortion then most of the alternative choices. The same company makes $8000 lasers.
To be fair, old-school vector displays had the same issue with flicker - and pretty much for the same reason. Atari Star Wars had that problem especially during the crawling text.
This product is not meant as a gaming system. I think Techmoan did a review on this (might have a competitor, though). His use was for it's intended purpose of providing a laser/light show. The games were just a cool extra.
That other gamemode of Tetris is using Pentominoes! Tetriminoes consist of 4 squares, while Pentominoes consist of 5, you can see them in things like Tetris 2 and Bombliss.
This thing has a ton of potential in the hands of dedicated enthusiasts. New consumer tech really can’t be graded until it’s been properly exploited and as was stated the devs didn’t put a ton of effort into that. But I mean, how many of these things are they gonna sell for casual gamers anyway, so I see their point. Let’s give it a couple more years and see what happens. I don’t plan on buying one anytime soon given the risks....yeesh. We could definitely use a crowdsourced updated Vectrex though.
Timestamp 7:30 Tank Boom Boom looks like Scorched Earth to me… I have no idea what Artillery Duel is, but I assume it's like Scorched Earth as well… I don't recall if Scorched Earth was an MS DOS or MS Windows 3.1 game, but was it ever fun when I was a kid. I haven't had a copy since my brother got my Win3.11 computer thrown out.
this is probably what kids playing space invaders for the first time in the 80s thought video games would be like in the 2010s and i guess they weren't wrong.
"Incredibly light and very flimsy" describes most Wicked Lasers products I've seen. Though to be fair, maybe they've evolved from the awful company with frequently detective goods and a gaslighting approach to "customer service" that I and many others experienced about a decade ago. Laser projectors are very cool, the coolest use for this kind of device was that guy who got some arcade ROMs (of vector based games) running through a projector like this a few years ago.
God the laser cube is so fucking badass. Much like a gun you'll have to take alot of safety precautions before you can actually use one with it literally projecting lasers.
The web site shows it being used outdoors. And it starts at €500, that's kind of good to know too lol. Surely this could be emulated though, and displayed on a computer screen or TV.

Tank Boom Boom looks like Scorched Earth to me…
I have no idea what Artillery Duel is, but I assume it's like Scorched Earth as well…
I don't recall if Scorched Earth was an MS DOS or MS Windows 3.1 game, but was it ever fun when I was a kid. I haven't had a copy since my brother got my Win3.11 computer thrown out.
"This is not a toy"
"It plays video games!!"
I love the shirt! Giving some love to Game Dave!
Ready to form LaserCube! Activate interlock! Dynotherms connected! Infracells up! Mega-thrusters are go! GO... LASER... CUBE!!
By the way, it is not FDA approved and not available in the US. You can buy FDA approved laser from other sources. They will just not be as small.
this is probably what kids playing space invaders for the first time in the 80s thought video games would be like in the 2010s and i guess they weren't wrong.
4:35 Tell me "Laser-Man" doesn't look like HORUS from the ZX Spectrum days.
"Incredibly light and very flimsy" describes most Wicked Lasers products I've seen. Though to be fair, maybe they've evolved from the awful company with frequently detective goods and a gaslighting approach to "customer service" that I and many others experienced about a decade ago. Laser projectors are very cool, the coolest use for this kind of device was that guy who got some arcade ROMs (of vector based games) running through a projector like this a few years ago.
God the laser cube is so fucking badass. Much like a gun you'll have to take alot of safety precautions before you can actually use one with it literally projecting lasers.
Rerez's slow decent into madness
The web site shows it being used outdoors. And it starts at €500, that's kind of good to know too lol.
Surely this could be emulated though, and displayed on a computer screen or TV.
