People always say that it’s impossible to catch a light, as the light moving in a very high speed. However, if you’re giving the opportunity to grab and hold the laser light in your palms, would you mind to give it a shot?
As you can see on the above picture, a person is holding the red laser light inside his/her hands. Theoretically, it’s a laser spot bounces on a figure being drawn on paper and trying to escape the labyrinth of lines.
No camera or projector is used in the experiment. The Sticky Light proposes an experience and allows the users to touch and interact with a beam of pure light. It even fun, when you can play the classic PONG game with this Sticky Light all with your bare hands!
The piece is based upon a 3D tracking technology that has been developed since 2003. The researchers using a laser diode, a pair of steering mirrors and a single non-imaging photodetector called the “Smart laser scanner” to produce this Sticky Light.
The laser dot is able to perform enlarging spirals until it finds some object of interest to play with, including our hands, drawing and much more. Honestly, the Sticky Light is definitely a good educational game, especially for the children who are willing to learn and play. [link]
