Graffiti Research Lab LASER Tag

by Scott Beale on February 20, 2007 · 6 comments

Graffiti Research Lab has developed a LASER tagging system that allows people to project images on entire building facades using a green laser and a DLP projector. Check out the amazing video and photos from their tests in Rotterdam. They’ve even released the source code and a “how to” for their LASER tag.

Cool stuff — And I want to see them testing it in Boston !!

i prefer no freaky unexpected laser light coming through my window at night. with any luck i will have grown old and died before everybody and mcdonalds has a laser annoyance machine. the messages are pretty unimpressive. i don’t get the logic- hating murder doesn’t make me want to become a murderer. do these guys hate advertising or just want to add their own in new annoying ways that the big corps will co-opt? pepsi once wanted to put a giant glowing billboard in orbit around the earth but fortunately realized it would not be endearing. the moon setting tonight looked really beautiful.

Good thing they’re in Rotterdam, because, you know, only TERRORISTS would do such a thing in America.
