SAGE was the computer that produced 3D effects in Laserium shows beginning in 1987. It was a separate thing from the Choreographics system. An example of sage graphics is the yellow and green zig zag lines in my tribute to L.A. Woman video. Until recently little was publicly known about the SAGE. Fortunately an individual or two, one of whom was one of the designers of the platform, as well as both being Laserium show directors / choreographers, have generously communicated with me regarding this recently.
This video shows the KQO with spiral ramp on the Z axis and the 3D computations I added yesterday. In this segment the emulator is in bit box mode, which means the 351 data is replaced by a static frame of 351 data that enables the desired system functions such as beams on and fixed rotation offsets.
