PSA: Don’t film laser tattoo removals unless you too want to fry a $2,200 camera

10 Mar

Laser systems used at concerts and even self-driving cars are known for damaging camera sensors, but now there’s one more thing to add to the list — tattoo laser removal lasers, even when the laser isn’t being pointed directly at the camera.

As unfortunately demonstrated in the 37-second video above, Andy Boyd destroyed the sensors inside his $ 2,200 Sony a7S II when he was filming a laser tattoo removal.

In the video description, he writes:

‘Hot tip: Don’t record laser tattoo removal on…anything. You can see with each pulse the sensor shows new damage. The repair cost was about as much as a new camera so try to avoid this. Club lasers can do this too but we’d never seen the reflection of a laser beam do damage, only when the beam itself hits the sensor.’

Hopefully you’re never in a situation where you’re asked to film a tattoo removal — especially one that reads ‘I am juicy’ with a strawberry next to it — but in the event you are, either use a camera you don’t mind destroying or pass up the opportunity as a whole.

All About Laser Chopping

27 Mar

Laser reducing continues to be launched to your producing marketplace a couple of great decades in the past nevertheless such a technology appears to generally be advancing in a more rapidly and faster price with every year that passes. It might also appear that most in the industrialists today which can be encountering difficulties satisfying all their client desires and facing around complex projects have not pretty learned with regards to the good gains that laser chopping has to offer. http://www.apa21.org/2017/09/laguna-tools-laser-reviews/ This can be new age technological innovation plus some of it sound like it has been plucked straight out of a Steven Spielberg film.

Laser cutting initial of all nonetheless will work over the same principle it really works when it was initially promoted. Only the dimensions in the devices has lowered regarding lessen the functioning area you use for the machines and there have appeared some new equipment and additional methods that happen to be included for the laser cutting process.

The natural theory of laser equipment implicates a laser or a hugely concentrated beam of sunshine that passes by way of a nozzle to be able to be targeted more accurately on to a slab of fabric that is definitely prior selected for chopping. Once the laser would make connection with the surface area from the materials it can burn it, vaporize it or simply blow it absent so you have remaining at the end of the process an excellent surface with all of the finishes and designs on it that your shoppers desire from you.

Laser slicing technological know-how currently needs to arrive provided with some beneficial attributes that could assist you considerably on your way up the harsh ladder to success. Initial of all you might have for making positive that the laser chopping technologies you use to your production purposes has the chance to lower different types of components to ensure that you to definitely access the demands with the shoppers.

Also the afterwards principles of laser chopping engineering suggest a cellular laser head and also a fixed materials to make sure that whilst your laser cuts the material it will be able to get to an ample variety of angles in order for the customers patterns to generally be satisfied towards the specific extent and in addition in the event the product is on the mounted placement you can minimise the doing the job house employed by your laser cutters.

While in the very last several decades there have been some new gamers released in into the laser know-how match plus they supply you with the potential for cutting your styles now in 3D given that the notion of depth has been extra and for the cleaner surface now you could encompass your laser with water otherwise you can enclose it within a jet of drinking water making sure that all particles is swiftly eliminated as well as your laser cuts as exact as possible. Fantastic Luck!

Adaptalux’ miniature lighting studio gets Laser, UV, and Arm-s lighting arms

30 Dec

$ (document).ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({“containerId”:”embeddedSampleGallery_4251822673″,”galleryId”:”4251822673″,”isEmbeddedWidget”:true,”selectedImageIndex”:0,”isMobile”:false}) });

Adaptalux Studio, the miniature lighting studio launched on Kickstarter in 2015, is on the receiving end of some new special effect lighting attachments called the EFX Lighting Arms. The new lighting arms bring three special effects to Adaptalux Studio: Laser, UV (ultraviolet), and Arm-s (super-bright with a TIR lens).

As with the existing Adaptalux arms, these new EFX Lighting Arms plug directly into the Studio and are flexible enough to be arranged in nearly any position. Adaptalux explains that its UV EFX arm features a purple anodized connector, while the Arm-s has a silver finish connector and the Laser arm has a red finish connector, helping distinguish them from each other and existing arms.

The UV EFX arm features a UV LED coupled with a UV Band Pass Filter, the latter of which is able to filter out 99% of visible light, according to Adaptalux. The Arm-s EFX arm, meanwhile, has a super bright white LED joined by a built-in TIR lens, which “greatly improves the amount of light reaching the subject,” the company explains. Finally, the Laser EFX arm features laser diodes with a focus-able lens to produce a red beam of light.

Adaptalux has 48 hours left in its EFX Lighting Arms Kickstarter campaign, where it’s already raised about $ 16,000 more than it needed to bring this idea to fruition. But funded or not, backers have 2 more days to get a single pack of either the Laser Arm or Arm-s Arm for a pledge of $ 50, a single pack with the UV Arm single pack for a pledge of at least $ 70, or a triple pack with all three arms for a pledge of $ 160.

Here are video intros to all three of the new arms, embedded for your viewing pleasure:

Shipping to Laser/Arm-s single pack backers is expected to start next April, while UV single pack backer shipments are expected to start in May 2018. To learn more or put down your pledge before the campaign ends, head over to Kickstarter.

Laser Precision: 3D Site Scan Enables Architectural Intervention

09 Mar

[ By WebUrbanist in Architecture & Houses & Residential. ]

3d view

Incredibly accurate laser-scanning technology, precise down to a hundredth of a millimeter, has helped British architects not only plan a new structure but also secure permission from a local planning commission. Their proposed Rock House, now approved, preserves both natural and architectural features currently on a government-protected site.

3d view preservation

Cornish firm Poynton Bradbury Wynter Cole (PBWC) Architects enlisted CESurveys to lidar scan the existing property, located in a conservation area. Their scanner system fires tens of thousands of lasers per second to get precise distance readings on complex terrain. Compared to traditional surveying and site-mapping strategies, this approach is much faster, cheaper and more effective.

3d building model

3d architectural addition

The results are translated into a three-dimensional model that can be manipulated, showing the effects of site changes or interventions. Scans from around sites are stitched together to form a complete picture.

3d scan section

3d scan side

3d scan elevation

The resulting models have an array of benefits, including the ability to show approving parties what the impacts of additions and remodels might be to a given property. They also helped the architects, in this case, maintain key lines of site, such as views out to the sea, and limit the cost of revisiting the site frequently to document additional features. Slices of the scans also make it easy to generate sections and elevations, sliced directly out of the models.

3d model lidar laser

Applications of lidar scanning goes well beyond architecture, too, including the ability to document historic infrastructure and preserve 3D models of fresh crime scenes.

Liquid Stop Sign: Emergency Laser Projection on Sheet of Water

06 Nov

[ By WebUrbanist in Design & Graphics & Branding. ]

stopcropped

Serving as a bright and bold last-chance warning for vehicles about to enter tunnels, this wall of water painted turns into a kind of hovering hologram designed to STOP impending drivers from creating or compounding tunnel disaster situations.

emergency stop lighting

Dubbed Softstop and deployed first in Australia, the liquid signage does no damage should a car or truck pass through, but still provides an impossible-to-ignore signal for drivers. It is used to warn off too-tall trucks and deter Sydney Harbor Tunnel entry in cases of fires or crashes going on inside the tunnel.

This solution came about after conventional signage failed to warn off drivers in an emergency. “We had a fire in the tunnel,” explains Harbor Tunnel GM Bob Allen, “motorists ignored the warning lights and signs and continued driving towards the fire. These drivers exposed themselves to smoke and toxic fumes from the fire and then to compound the situation they turned around (in a one way tunnel) and drove back out of the tunnel against incoming traffic.”

The wall-of-water solution came about as a collaboration between Laservision, a creative technology firm that designs architectural lighting, and a pump manufacturer: Grundfos.

X-Ray Urbanism: Laser Scans Record & Reveal Sub-City Spaces

12 Aug

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Photography & Video. ]

scan 3d london underground

Produced from over 200 laser scans, this remarkable 3D representation covers surface features as well as subterranean spaces of it’s London subject, captured and stored as a series of over 10 billion points. This data-rich compositing process has been called everything from spatial scanning to volumetric photography, but the goal is simple: capturing all dimensions of the subject matter in digital space. And as the cost of the requisite technologies continues to drop, it may not be long before lidar (laser + radar) scanners become commercial household products or even smartphone features.

scanlab subeterranean mail rail

The duo behind ScanLabs has done remarkable projects around the world, both artistic and documentary in nature, but their work with Mail Rail illustrates the near limitless potential of the technologies they employ. Using scanner that sent out millions of laser light bursts per second, they have generated a ground-piercing, interactive rendering that is ahead of its time. Static views and videos do not do their captures justice, which may someday be best experience via virtual reality or in some other format yet unimagined.

Matthew Shaw and William Trossell were commissioned to help document The London Post Office Railway by the British Postal Museum & Archive before a section is converted into an underground ride. The nearly 100-year-old and 23-mile-long LPOR, or ‘Mail Rail’ for short, transported millions of pieces of daily mail beneath the city at its peak. Before a massive revamp changes this subterranean landscape forever, stakeholders wanted a method for preserving all elements of the existing spaces.

As Geoff Manaugh summarizes this novel approach to spatialization, “Their 3D point clouds afford a whole new form of representation, a kind of volumetric photography that cuts through streets and walls to reveal the full spatial nature of the places on display.”

scanlab forest view

ScanLab has engaged in many other projects as well, including augmented archeology at concentration camps and digital preservation of D-Day landing sites. Some, however, are simply experimental, designed to push the limits and explore ways to hack the technologies they use. The company has done everything from generating surrealistic renderings of forests to scanning clouds and mist simply to see what will come out the other side of the process. They have even snuck into famous works of architecture and surreptitiously scanned buildings, then recreating them in perfect detail with 3D printers or CNC routers. Regardless of the short-term applications, the key is the long-term data storage – the information being preserved today may be redeployed in the future in ways not yet envisioned.

Coming Soon: Inexpensive Cactus Laser Triggers?

18 Feb

Well this is interesting. Georgia-based photographer Brian Hursey has been testing an advance set of laser “trip-triggers” to be released by Cactus.

These are the types of triggers designed not for syncing but for motion-stopping photography. I.e., when something passes through the laser it trips the flash. They have a variable delay mechanism, and being from Cactus should be reasonably cheap.

For more info, see Brian’s tests, or the Strobist Flickr Group discussion.
