Lasers!: Laser Dance Matrix - Don’t Call It A Pad
I had to play DDR with a boring, run of the mill pad that slipped all over the place on my hardwood floors - irritating and perhaps dangerous. But someone has a solution for that problem with the "laser dance matrix" - not a pad - that functions with (duh) lasers. It's designed to work with any game that will support a USB input, and the designers want to know if people would be interested in purchasing a matrix or a kit to you get to assemble yourself, for you DIY types.
In addition to pointing out that the matrix-in-use won't come with nifty red beams ("Contrary to popular belief ... laser beams cannot be seen from the side unless they are reflecting off of something like fog or dust."), they explain, "The full name 'Laser Dance Matrix' arose from the fact that there is actually no "pad" or other playing surface included with the device. The matrix part is also somewhat accurate in reference to linear algebra." Geeks are so endearing sometimes.
