Editing GraffitiProjector (section)

===Questions for Dave:===

* What's the budget? We're looking for order of magnitude: 100, 1000, 10000?
* What's the target and intended mode of operation? Frequent setup and teardown, i.e., mobility vs. stability? Big, long range projection or close small projection? Again, rough order of magnitude: 10m, 100m, 500m (is that even possible?)
* How long should the kit last (one night or a year)? This will determine borrow vs. buy decisions

    Here is the essential equipment you will need for your Laser Tag system.
    1x fast laptop (PC or Mac) that can connect to an external monitor. It helps if the laptop has a dedicated graphics card, so a Macbook Pro would be preferable to a Macbook for this reason (though macbooks seem to run it just fine!).
    1x video camera that you can connect to your laptop. Video cameras that have manual controls tend to be a lot better at tracking the laser than ones that automatically adjust the image depending on how bright it is.
    1x projector. Anything over 2000 lumens should be good. 1x laser pointer between 5mW and 80mW in power.

    For this setup we are using a Asus F9S laptop with a Logitech Messenger camera, a Benq 2500 lumens projector and a 70mW green laser pointer. This is fine for a small setup but for larger scales you will need a brighter projector and a better camera.
