Mind blowing video of laser-guided graffiti system
My jaw dropped when I watched this video of Graffiti Research Lab's laser graffiti system I blogged last week. You hold a laser pointer in the air, and draw whatever you want. A high-powered laser projection system (hidden in a van) "paints" the image on the surface of a building. Unbelievably cool.

Just a correction re the article, in that I thought initially a laser was being used to "paint" the building also. What happens instead, is that a handheld laser-pointer is used to tag the building and a camera discerns the contrast of the laser on the building to then output through a DLP video projector the actual tag. The DLP projector is doing the grunt work of projection and not the laser -- much safer!!
