Hi all,

this is a quick introduction to what I've been doing with lasers the past years. I hang out on the PL forums mostly (same user name) but recently found some great recourses on here. Especially the info on the blu-rays is overwhelming and fantastic. It has me planning a dual blu-ray to add to my RGB projector.

My latest victory is my homebrew 3D laser graphics engine allowing navigation through 3D worlds. Vids are on youtube but I just found out I can't post links yet  :-[
Anyway I'll post them later on for those who want some eye-candy (strictly lasers) can look for ZoofTV on youtube and find my creations:
Real-time 3d graphics
Laseroids - an asteroids clone played on laser projection
LAserTennis - classic Pong on laser projection

All this is purely homebrew laser software working on the Easylase DAC and a homebuilt RGB laser projector with Raytrack 35 plus scanners.

hope you enjoy these links!

Nice to see you over here Zoof!

Your youtube videos are basically what made me want to start building a homebrew projector. I mean, patterns and animations are nice... but having something interactive is really awesome.

I'm saving some money to get an easylase DAC now. You wouldn't happen to know where I could get a cheap one would you?

That is nice to hear! Inspiring people is flattering to me :D
I have a spare Easylase but I'm hanging onto it for future plans. Sometimes they show up on ebay but not that often - you can try the german site for better luck. Otherwise directly from JMlasers is your surest option.
I would like to see the stuff you're builing, got a pointer to it?

This is good. Hi Zoof.

I'm an Xbox 360 game developer, and as you might be able to tell from my post count and laser list below I'm a big lasers fan as well ;)

I would like nothing more than to make games using a Laser Projector. I have a basic 10kpps projector I got, but that may be a little too slow for naught but the simplest games. But I'd still like to give it a shot and maybe one day I can get a nice big 40kpps RGB scanner for games.

So Zoof, will you teach me to make games with a laser projector? :)

Hey Murudai,

you're an official laser addict :) What DAC are you using?

I plan on releasing the engine as a library and make it available to be used by others for exactly this sort of interest.

Then it will be easy, much like openGl programming.
