I love this project!

I saw this back in the day and it inspired me to build this:

I hacked together some game jam games with it:

Alexis Ohanian commented on my video, which was awesome:

I eventually built a laser drawing system too. I used a 532 nanometer optical filter taped to a webcam to isolate green laser pointer light, then drew a sampled approximation of the shapes. I recorded that somewhere, but never uploaded it...

In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't get in trouble for this.
