Beamz. Hook it up to a power source, your PC and some speakers and play music by waving your hands around like a dork. We’re trying to be snarky, but really, deep deep down, we want to have a play with this so we can look like dorks too. Anyhoo, it’s yours for the sum of $599.95, so your desire to make music had better be very very strong indeed. Super dorky video here.
Amazing laser-based invention lets music-lovers be musicians — regardless of talent or training! # Breaking the laser beams with your hands automatically generates pre-authored pulses, streams, riffs or loops of musical notes or sounds from hundreds of different instruments — strings, keyboards, woodwinds, brass, percussion, even cow bell. # Choose a complementary rhythm track from 30 original songs in 19 music genres, including jazz, bluegrass, classical, hip-hop, reggae, heavy metal and more. Or create your own track! # The beamz system has a “W” shape, with six laser beams spanning the two sections; connect via USB to your PC or laptop, then hook up some speakers and you’re ready to play, perform or create great music.
