The First Laser Projector

[Eidetic]

A picture of the first laser light show projector just showed up on my facebook page and here it is. It's "Sonovision", introduced in 1969 and previously mentioned here in the thread below. Now I have to find the original print!

So I went looking a bit on the web for more information, and came across this picture of S.R. Wagler showing the system. Also, I found the article linked from an issue of "Leonardo" in 1975 describing another very early laser light show artist and possibly the first public performance of such a show in March of 1968.

Eidetic I used to have that picture from some magazine. It is gone now, lost. I had posted it and a few others over here: https://www.photonlexicon.com/forums...146#post318146

this last one is the same as the earlier one but you can zoom in and it is very clear (What are these things next to his ashtray?)

Thanks a bunch LaserCo! I'll hunt them down. Looks like from Life magazine, maybe January 1977 from their stock number.
