I'm completely new to lasers or laser projection so please excuse if I'm asking daft questions!
As part of my product design university project I am looking for a way to project a shape from a laser beam that will show up on the ground in daylight.
I've got a 1mW 532nm green laser pointer which shows up very well during the day, but obviously that is just the laser dot.
How would I make the laser 'draw' a shape. I understand this is done with moving mirrors and somehow programming a shape to be drawn, is there some kind of off the shelf device for doing this?
What effect would this have on the beam intensity?
I know another option is using a sense to create a shape from the beam, where can I get hold of such a lense? I am from the UK.
Are there any websites that may be useful to me?
Can anyone give me some advice?
Cheers,
Jack
