Patent Pending on a offical submission around 4 months ago.

Two Protypes and now for a redesign. I'm coming back where I first looked into lasers and determined line generating lasers was the key. Now for the next design I'm interested in your ideas.

Yes I am creating a product and if you don't like it don't comment. Innovation is a collection of minds.

So with "Laser Line Up Shoes" a person wears shoes with pre-determined lines drawn on the ground to enusre they stand the same way each time. First this idea was for only doing a golf shot but has now been developed for other activities.

Here is the issues that I am currently looking to overcome:

1. When I place the lasers into the shoes they are "locked" in place. I would like to figure out a "cradle" system that can be turned with a screw driver moving the laser to different angles of displayed degrees of displayed angles.


2. The lasers don't show up in sunlight really at all. I don't know if this is an issue that can be overcome. That it isn't that is fine because the shoes would be mostly for practice and not likely to be used in the actually activities due to rules of a game. * But if you have an idea how to display a laser line in daylight I'm interested in your knowledge.


Thank you for your time and look forward to learning more about of the interesting things you might know about (lasers).............

Displaying a laser line in daylight? You're going to need more power. And, if you live in the US, anything more than 5mW is going to require a variance, which your users will have to submit before they can use your shoes or they risk being fined. Funny I know, but it's true. you basically have a public laser display strapped to your shoes.

You don't need to see the line...
You need to see the laser hit a target on the far shoe..

A Laser beam profile (dot) can be seen much more
easily in daylight than a Laser's beam.

As to adjustments if the Laser... It would be simpler
to precisely mold the mounting hole for the Laser in
the shoe.

BTW... if you use any of these ideas I will expect to be
added to the Patent application as co-inventer....:whistle:
