I have an odd job this week. My job assignment is to select a laser pointer than can defy the laws of physics. I have until Friday. Have you seen the youtube video about the technical expert who is assigned the job of drawing 7 red lines? If you haven't, you should. It's hilarious. Essentially, that is my assignment.
I support a large conference room. It has a large glass projector screen. Long before me I believe it was installed backwards in the room with the matte side facing into the projector room and the glass side into the conference room.
There is a long standing issue getting laser pointers to work on this screen. Most pointers show up very dimly on the screen, barely visible. The screen is also highly reflective, and even pointers that show up dimly reflect the laser into the room and the audience.
We have found one green laser that generates a bright wide circle on the screen, but it reflects so strongly into the room that people complain. It seems to me that every laser is going to do exactly the same thing, either too dim to see well or too reflective to not get complaints.
So, help me solve this problem. Don't drag me down with all your technical mumbo jumbo negativity! It's just a laser pointer. If I need Harry Potter's magic wand, just make it happen! By Friday! Or else!
Seriously though, if there is some specific laser pointer characteristics that could help with this problem, let me know and perhaps recommend a product and a source where I can get one. Thanks.
