In case you missed it, lately there has been an influx of UFO/UAP reports in NJ, mostly over Morris and Somerset counties.
Any thoughts about this? Bonus question: I know quite a few LPF members are from Jersey, and there's a good intersection in the venn diagram of laser people and...
Awesome idea for a thread.
I’m really into pro photography and music creation.
Programming, data science, and amateur machine learning stuff.
Getting more into cooking but not all the way there yet.
Want to start writing fiction, novels
For the uninitiated, 3blue1brown is an educational math youtube channel known for his great explanatory visuals and intuitive explanations of complex topics.
He just released this video about transmission holography, and I definitely feel it was worth the 45-minute watch.
The approach in the...
Pointing it immediately at the reflective signs is insane. Looks like he’s trying to sell more cheap lasers to kids on tiktok that don’t know any better. He knows damn well it won’t burn that tree down but doesn’t know not to point it around people and vehicles. This is the human version of ebay...
I love lasers and I’m just as addicted to typing “la…” in my url bar and hitting enter as “fa…” or “you…” or “x”.
One problem is forums in general just aren’t as popular a format as they once were. But I wish they were because there is actual useful information on here, even about laser safety...
This might come off as a dumb question but I wanted to open it up for discussion nevertheless. I've wanted to get more into custom builds and the hands-on electronics side of this hobby for a while. My "excuse" that I've only realized consciously recently is always that I don't have the proper...
I posted a thread recently about viewing lasers through the apple vision pro and LSRFAQ/Steve had a great reply about viewing lasers through cameras in general, might as well share here
Post in thread 'Apple Vision Pro = Ultimate Safety Goggles?'...
Laser beams, visible only because of the light bouncing off of particles in the air, are often only subtly visible especially at wavelengths further from 555nm and powers closer to 5mw. Good chance the VR camera will not be low-light-capable enough to pick up the beam how your eyes would, and...
🥱 Give it a rest. Did you never get put in time-out as a kid, even though you thought you were right? Hint: you’re well past the point of anyone caring if you’re right or wrong, and well into the zone where it’s more about your pushy attitude and childish need to be the loudest in the room. If I...
Before someone else says it, I can’t afford it either.
But does this make sense? You now have a device that shows what’s in front of you, but it’s on a digital display in front of your eyes. In reality, your eyes are separated from the scene by a wall of components inside the headset.
Enter a...
Your work is great. I dig the unique housing design of your builds. It really makes these lasers look like the fun gadgety things that they are. They also won't roll away which is a plus. All the details like charging lights and ports make me want to get into building so I can make something...
