Playing Asteroids projected onto a hill a few hundred metres away with a FRICKIN LASER BEAM was a truly remarkable experience. Thank you @seb_ly! ❤️🙌 #emfcamp
I was so excited I forgot to add the video! This is a single 7.5W laser running at 30kHz sample rate, the tracking is essentially a travelling salesman algorithm. Oh and the laser control software is all Seb’s too. Go check out Seb’s work! Truly terrific stuff https://seblee.co#asteroids#laser#emfcamp
Is the laser on the Wurkkos HD01 safe to use to play with pets? I’ve got a dog that loves to chase the laser but my Nebo Slim+ 1200 died when it fell off of my backpack strap.
This review actually tested the laser’s output and found it to be 2mW, which should be fine for pets if you’re not pointing it directly into their eyes (which I assume you wouldn’t).
My one concern is that green lasers are actually diode pumped solid state lasers which produce green light by frequency-doubling infrared, and some designs can actually emit much more infrared than green. I’m not sure if the author tested for infrared.
Edit: I asked the author about IR and they got 2.1mW@1064nm, with the caveat that the laser power meter may not be very precise at low power levels. That’s probably not dangerous.
