LaserCam: A brand new live webcam to laser projection application

Andrew, please tell me about differences of the version PRO about from the version BASIC

[drlava]

The pro version includes a technique for brightness shading based on image contrast that the Basic version doesn't. Also the Pro package comes with two computer licenses in stead of one, and support for LD2000 and Fiesta.

Last night I put on a party with among other legendary electro/techno producers AUX88 from Detroit and Sleeparchive from Berlin and I used LaserCam for an "installation".

I placed a DV-cam and a small flourecent light over a table where people could write on white paper with black marking pens and I then projected it on a wall in the club, about
6x5 meters big. It was spectacular and people got really inventive, used the lag on fast settings (I had a bit to slow computer) to make animation with several frames, made semi 3D shapes and wrote very funny messages and such.

I try to get some pictures up, it was great fun!

Thank you Drlava, this program is wonderful! Big thanks for your fast support when I was short on time and didn't get it to work with my USB-dac.

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR....Impressive drlava!

As soon as I have a worthy projector, this will be purchased immediately!

That's a great idea. We really need to see pics.

I was booker and technical producer for the party so I didn't have much time to photograph stuff but here is a couple of pics:

Hello, i see in the specs that it's compatible with Moncha, does it mean, it's compatible with Moncha ILDA/USB box?
And is it possible to do a later upgrade from Basic to Pro version? Because i still have only TTL projector so i won't use the shading effect, but later when i get to buy a REAL projector, i would go for an upgrade with the shading.
Thanks for answers.

when i use the "Spiral" mode of drawing in Lasercam, the picture seems to be rotated by about 45 degrees clockwise, can this be tuned somehow so it's the same as in preview?

[drlava]

Yes, you should be able to fix this up using the shift control in the color enhance box. Be sure to try it with the DAC speed set to the max your DAC is capable of, and try using 10000 as scan speed. This will increase the spiral point density and make a nice image.
