Making a 3d homemade Laser projector

[forddexta12345]

Are these the normal mirrors

[TommaVideos]

Hey! I know this is a REALLY long shot, but you think you have any extra laser projectors, or that you could make a small one and send it to finland? :D

I really wouldnt ask anything like that, but its just that Im having a 2012 new years party, been trying to find laser projectors, but they just costs so much :/ Or do you know any sites that sells for cheap price and are legit?

Thanks!:)

[finrollercoaster09]

@TommaVideos moi, luulisin että tuolta thomann.de/fi/laserit.html Olen itse tilannut kaksi scanneria tuolta sivulta. Postikulut suomeen 12e. Jos esim. tilaat kaksi laaseria niin ne menevät samaan pakettiin ja postikulut ovat nuo 12e.

[doceigen]

So tell me, are people even interested in non-representational imagery any longer?  It seems as if the trend is merely a convergence with projected video imagery. Only complete amateurs make low speed vector driven abstract lessajous projectors any longer. In the old days, we shine a laser through frosted glass and everyone gasped! Nowadays people want full color, photorealistic, 3D HoloDeck environments, and nothing else seems to chill their spines. Is this observation accurate?

[iLemonable]

The world is boring without nerds. Not that you are a nerd... :)))

204 people know enough about electronics to call BS

[RSSF4]

you know what. It would be great to do this kind of stuff but one problem.... I can't afford it!

The best video I ever seen,that's not porno

[AJLOVESLILY]

holy shit i need to stop smokeing pot

[iverynoob]

If you are my neighbour, i will be always finding you for help..Nice

[qwerty23O]

Holy crap that's awesome

[Volunteer8020]

i see nothing about "making laser show"

[tlh2498]

whats up with the music?!?!?

[msahtutbhienw]

are you a wizard?!

[tulipsmeller]

how do you make a flat laser beam?

[JelloDice]

holy shit!

[PatrickAndrewCameron]

This is really cool, I wish I could learn how to do it. I have some basic electronics experience, I know how to build computers, I know how to program... I don't know how to build lasers, but I tried to make one once, it just did circles and tubes ( I had to hold the laser whilst I pointed it at mirrors spinning on a motor.

[SjorsRpiano]

that's awsome !!!

[Ipoetize]

Nice work Sean, I enjoy the efforts of those who with time and elbow grease make for themselves what most people over pay and then end up regretting having done it. by the way (laserillusions (d o t )com) is a changed or defunct site? Keep the Lasers Lit.

[DrawSpeed]

@Ipoetize

Guess I can throw this in here without sounding like I'm advertising, too much. Laser Illusions is not defunct, not anymore. The site is LaserIllusions (d o t) net now, same owner, same company. I'm working on software now (May 2011) for people who want higher performance without the cost, software only, or with a controller board. Hope to have several systems soon..

my school had something like that

[runfirewolf]

video rocks wish i new how to do that

[krystian887]

Ufo technology...

[HellRemains666]

this is one of the coolest laser videos i've seen!

Outstanding job!!

[kiyotewolf]

maybe you can attenuate the red to make it mix the way you want?

[firmclock]

rig it up to a xbox 360 and play call of duty mw2 it wood be very cool

[NickTheGamer1]

@firmclock Wtf man? you are on a laser video . So get the hell out of here and go play your beloved "mw2"

[Maketsup]

Holy fuck that's cool, can you make full RGB projector for watching movies? :D

[MegaMaverick31]

helo sir ur 3d home made laser really fabulous. i was awestruck at the very first look and got fascinated to do it at my home . is it possible for me. and can you say how much does it cost

[ArT1Tuvsho]

got few words to say!

"A-ma-zing"

[sonlatino1904]

good job, would you sell this item?

[Flea5000000000]

o god o god o god o god o god.... rape

[attacknickdemko]

OMG!, the software is $400! Then the projector must be 4000? right :D

[Luzivieh]

looks really great - why don't you put a howto on instructablesdotcom ? Would love to read a tut there and maybe try vto build a projector myself.

[gambo800]

secorcist is just like Sex or RAcist xD

[sparkyuiop]

@gambo800 How?

[TRONhack3r]

nice rig 73 to yah!

[favoritiphoneguy]

wow awesome

[beattunerz]

you can make a movie ? XD 

[theandyherbert]

sexorcist? thats my dj stage name now

[hawhawdecarabaw]

if i was to buy somthing like this from your how much would it cost. oh fuck i want 1 in my room haha awesome

[schenkel123]

Use prisms instead of mirrors...

[Rajacable]

senks

[vovanoed]

AMAZING!

[tupelosurfer]

have you been able integrate? seems like you could make that dough back by developing a display device. doesnt even have to be hd for another few years. get on it. check out the ppls at the Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Tech.

[CristiDoOm]

Super projectors :X

[sgrave1]

nice

[milkkart]

great work, both the lights and the music, love that acid bass. i really like the 3d work you were doing with the laser and especially the pattern at about 6:30, that's something realy unique.

[PoppinCheese]

nerd music :P

[swobber1]

nice !

check out my lasershow

*thumps up*

[PolishGuy89]

Dang!! You need to be very intelligent to design this type of stuff, May I ask what you got on your SAT? Really Nice job!

[loribee1989]

Nice man really nice

[accelorator]

can we get a download of this song?

[jasons520]

hey how much would it cost if you could send me the parts you use and instructions on how to assemble

[bebeDesigner]

I just.... your are a true genius :D

[mbunds]

Hard to get clear shots in the dark, isn't it?

[curtm8]

i just got mind fucked! lol nice work keep it up man

[305Nat]

you should play one of the gigi d agostino songs on that it would look cool

[CristiDoOm]

Yes is some kind of pc tehnik,but you must know what parts are compatibile ,because is the danger of fire

[imaBchimp]

WIeRd SoNg GREAT LASERS!!!! N PICS

[CristiDoOm]

youre some kind of a genius? =))

[SeanChaney]

@CristiDoOm Thank you for the compliment but I am just a regular guy that likes to invent stuff. Building the projector is not much different than building a computer you just take components and assemble them.

[sparkyuiop]

@SeanChaney I'm sure you are a regular guy in many ways, however you are also an extremely clever and methodical person that strives to achieve the best of your capabilities.

Credit where it is due old chap, don't be so modest that you appear to dismiss your creations!

Well done...

[coolaidkiller101]

@SeanChaney is it possiblle to make a full colour image with r/g/b colour laser

[SeanChaney]

@coolaidkiller This video is now four years old and the video I took that makes up this video is 8 years old. Technology has really advanced allot over the years. It is defiantly possible to make full color images as well as Vector video you would have to use a RGB laser projector, Pangolin software with very fast scanners. This setup is also very expensive. A lot of people don't realize some of the new DLP HD projectors at movie theaters have RGB laser diodes running them.

[coolaidkiller101]

@SeanChaney so to get 60 fps your scanners have to scan 1920 lines 60 times in one second to get true 60 fps

[ElianElian7]

@SeanChaney Awesome man.

[evildeadskinmask]

this is mind blowing

[x9x9x9x9x9]

I think I want to make this! I really like how the man hammering(?) is going with the beat of the music until the end of the clip.

Do you have any suggestions on what a good cheap laser? pretty much something bright and that can burn stuff very well for under $100. I got a 100mw 532nm Open-back Green Laser that does alright but I want something that can light cigarettes or burn anything of any color not just black.

What does "open-back" mean for a laser? Can you help me out?

[XvXDaNNy]

dude u know what would be pretty kool porn on laserz... just sayin :P

[MrKab00ze]

this made me go woahwoah me gustavo

[zigi621]

this is confusing me o.O especially 3:20



[sd9800]

that is freaking awesome

[RLai2316]

very cool

[madhouse2009]

I'm impressed. VERY impressed. By the laser set up and the song :)

[SenorElDano]

that is one good tune!

[tommyandtammy1]

this is a nice laser and your instructions are great. thanks for sharing and God bless.

[cotton509]

1 word awsumn

[magicmasta33]

Where do u get your lasers from? And are they cheapish. Mglaiven.

[vedmit14]

TRIPPY

[thegogo521]

tripe :S

[JustMe111094]

nice, you should do a video game using lasers....

realy...

[mafelkins]

nice ! cool!

[TopGear6666]

3d gaming here we come

[uffusion]

fantastic *2 thumbs up *

[dirkkas]

Damn GOOD Laser-Show..... and DAMN good Music....

[michaelmorgan5694]

diggin the song dude :))

[GeneralSquirtle]

i wanna make one.

[Ruttie2]

The same technique used to create holograms..

[dsmrocker]

thats awesome! the music was very disturbing here a girl just say "oh god" lol

[selts2]

I need a teacher to do that xD

[muh1h1]

OH MY FUCKING GOD!

[noodlegrannybill]

wow, this song!

[masterofparty64]

Coool U rock I would pay money to see this this is so cool :)

[Reubajam]

these must be incredible in real life

[ToxicSmox]

thats amazing you should make a career out of this

[Ragnoros1]

really awesome man!

what´s the cost of the material for this?

[SeanChaney]

.First off this can be a very expensive hobby, but like all technology prices have fallen dramatically over the years. The price depends on the quality of the scanners and the power of the lasers as well as the software you use. I spent about $4,000 back between 2000 and 2003 for the parts and software. I was experimenting with the new DPSS and Diode lasers of the time. The pictures in the video were taken back in 2003.

[MegaMaverick31]

hi



[103798]

@SeanChaney Never use the words "spend" and "software" in the same scentence... they don't belong together. TPB!

[marcovit]

good better pictures?

[PorkkanaMurhaaja]

HAAAAAAX!

[Amisterasian]

you should consider making me one with purple blue green and red diodes and selling it to me

[Anumics]

that is insane, you must be one hell of an engineer.. cool song btw

[MacsCanfly]

song name 1:40

[LaineyAnime]

"OH god!" "Do you think I'm SEXY!"

That song was ruined by these lines...

[nickrohn93]

OH GOD! ^ creepy if that was you man, creepy

[LaineyAnime]

@nickrohn93 Yeah something along those lines! lol

[MacsCanfly]

@LaineyAnime i agree

[issaac3]

cool , great work !

[goodseedchild]

check out my Facebook James Davis i have on green laser glasses and holding two green drumsticks

[beefsupreme420]

some great effects here bro. Nicely done!

[randomrat]

1:11 is the WOAH and the speaker one is amazing

Also i reeeally like that music track - but im into that kinda stuff...Is it possible if i can download that for my iPod? :)

5/5 cheers

[yoanadim]

in what sense is this a 3D projector? are you not projecting the image on a 3D surface? good job btw!

[SeanChaney]

From 0:58 the animations are projected on a flat 10 foot high wall with a door in the middle. You can see the door in some of the images. The projected image is about 6 feet high I have 4 control knobs on the back of the projector that can vary the size and position of the X and Y axis to any size I want. The 3D is an Illusion just as 3d on a computer is an illusion. There are a lot of 2D animations in this. The 3D can be seen at 0:58, 1:08 1:50 and the best is everything past 5:32

[SeanChaney]

By the way I put this video together just to show a few friends the projector I started to make around 2003 and my strange and unfinished song that I thought was funny but can get very annoying. Im regretting I did not use another one of my songs now that it is about 3 years later and more than the 7 original people have seen it.

[shigalbigal]

you could sell these

[midn135]

trippy

[wild300zx]

Sean, You should really approach a car audio company like Alpine, Etc. That image at 6:13+ That looks like a speaker would be great for their big Show booths like SEMA etc. Also you should approach the Makers of DJ & Club lighting like ADJ, Martin, Chauvet. Just a few suggestions. I remember people tripping out when I showed up at a car show with a Black widow projecting on the back glass. Took best of show. I have since modified it to green. Take care, Rampage

[daniel7899999]

xyz axis, 10 kHz to the power of 3, laser galvo psychometric pulsating phase variance multi-trilateral interface is misaligned but could be improved with a anti-matter neutrino acceleration spectrometer device.

[onefreakiekid]

Right then... when you build something that can accelerate anti-neutrino's by analyzing their wavelength... go ahead and let us know how it was YOU who broke the laws of physics....

[daniel7899999]

Actually, I am Albert Einstein. My brain was transplanted into another human body. I have so many groundbreaking theories now.  Everything I said is true!!!

[steveman223]

arent the laws changing all the time? isnt it man who came up with the laws? stop ur crying and encourage more you moron..stop being destructive

[onefreakiekid]

0,o Bit sensitive are we? Who says I was being destructive? He obviously posted a comment with random crap in it that sounded cool. First step in discovering new laws (old laws are quite rarely changed) is to be able to weed out the obvious BS. Like the LHC creating black holes that would destroy the earth...

And man didn't come up with the laws of the universe, man has merely observed some laws and wrote them down. In no way have we created any laws...

[railstie]

how am i ever gonna finish reading you description

[CarpaceEater]

@railstie You aren't! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[RICKROLLBLENDER]

wow!

HOLY CRAP!!

I WANT ONE OF THESE!!!

[mmhmmlala]

what i would do to that laser

[ONEyeMarco]

WOOOOO that 3d effect is like

insane man!!!

how does one laser get reflected quick enough to form such

spaces !!

5 stars

[ThRokas]

Laser travels in a speed of light .

[djvanbeat]

good work !!,the 3d efecct is awesome ,

[bora3dogrular]

it can be done by a projector ...but it cant be seen from planet mars as can be on a laser

[davidRios622]

$4000!!, to expensive for me.., but it is awesome...

[lobo00x]

try a 3d gundam xD

[torawfordiz]

how much do they cost to make

[SeanChaney]

The cost depends on what type and quality of Images and aerials you want. For good aerials and liquid skys you need a more power full laser and if you want High quality images and text you need fast accurate scanners both are expensive. If this does not matter to you you can get less powerfull lasers and slower scanners (less expensive). This is not a cheap hobbie . Look under more info I lay it all out. For what you see here I spent about $4000 including software, you can make it cheaper now.

[ajpoz]

I wonder why you spent so much money to build a laser scanner, you can control X and Y axis by attaching mirrors to speakers, max horizontal and vertical freq. is about 10kHz depending on speakers or build your own galvos (up to 15kHz) there is a nice project on the internet, fully described, you would spend up to few hundred usd for all the scanner

[SeanChaney]

I used mirrors on speakers 25 years ago, that is something you do when you are just starting out. What you see in this video was built 7 years ago you can build it allot cheaper now. Galvos above 30,000 Points per second is the only way to go for great text and graphics (not kHz). you can not do graphics or text with mirrors on speakers or mirrors mounted to motors. That is why It cost so much money back then to build this.

[daniel7899999]

You should have used an inverted frequency device with a polarized positronic deuterium cycolotron adapter. It would have worked much better. Trust me.

[KanameTousen]

1:59

...a certain song called "yeah" by Usher

[devangparekh]

this is borning as shit

[sk8great]

THAT IS SICK!!! you could make money with this like either sell some lasers for alot or do some laser shows

[halimvedat]

Super show, super labour, super music (very crazy.. ohhhh my goood seems like from porno films moans). I like a lot of this video. Congratulations.

[dickisalzburg]

AWESOME MAN

Congratulations

[Imbamorial]

and if you're not that handy.. could you build if you got an order? just asking :) amazing work!

[gorantz]

coool

[DEATHxValor]

The 3D effect looks awesome.

[mercurio0000]

SeanChaney, I want to thank you for posting all this information and video. I read under the more info section and you give even locations where we can buy the stuff. I find your info to be the more complete I have seen so far. I love the video too. Congratulations on this and your next laser project and again thank you!

[zernestro]

holy shit it's excellent

[laserlover]

I wrote an e-book titled " RGB Laser Projector Design Guide" . If you want to learn how to design and build your own solid state , full color, laser projector you might want to give it a read.

[uububububu]

Not bad erotic music, may be also not bad for robot - electro - dance.

[gordiansdick]

have you ever tried to to make a sci-fi laser cannon, fake gun but and lazer projector in side

[mercury153]

Can i borrow this for my science project!!!!!!

[HairyPotter2006]

what a crappy music

[Jamessharpshooter]

have you ever heard of the mute function?
