It can trigger any type of multa-media, still or video images, and any type of music or sounds, up to 70 times per second. I custom build them with from 8 to 64 green and/or red low powered lasers. They are custom designed , carved and sculpted in any style one can think of.<br /><br />I am working on a low powered green laser version of an "infinite" beam type laser harp, that will use 13 green lasers shooting up into space in a spray-type array. It will be played by reflecting the lasers back to optic sensors on the harp body. In this approach the software`s "analog" mode can be used, which allows the sensors to register differences in voltage depending on how much laser light hits each one. Thus shifting pitch and volume by where a had is placed away form the lase beam.<br /><br />Very cool fun !Glenn Hillhttp://www.laserharps.comnoreply@blogger.com
