Beams Effects are, perhaps, the first effect that comes to mind when you think of a laser show. This is no surprise since this is the oldest laser effect, and also an effect that cannot be reproduced by any other technology available.
Three dimensional beam shows are most often used to complement a graphical
laser show, or as a standalone special effect for a variety of events. Beams
dance in the sky above your audience, and bounce from grids of carefully aligned mirrors
into every corner of your venue -- all choreographed to music that you choose.

By
projecting complex geometric laser images into a diffuse medium such
as smoke or haze,
exciting overhead effects can be created such as:
tunnels, liquid sky, sprays of bright colored
beams, swirling
vortexes, and more.
 Often,
a holographic scrim intercepts these patterns
at different depths in the room to create unique 3D laser
effects. These scrims are designed to
disappear in a
dark room, and create floating images above the
audience.
Scrims are also an ideal projection surface for logos
and laser images. Many more examples can be
found on the
Holograms and Projections page, and
also on the
Laser FX page.
To further enhance the
experience, mirrors are placed throughout
the performance area and carefully pre-aligned to create complex
patterns of laser light that extend in every direction. Other final
targets include motorized mirror effects that create unique sprays
of laser light in remote corners where it would not be possible, or
financially feasible, to place an additional laser system.
For outdoor events, the
beams are targeted onto large buildings or other structures as the
final bounce.
With a high-powered system, these beams may be visible for 30 Miles
or more.
Where no medium exists
to terminate the beams, FAA clearance
may be obtained to allow the laser beams to enter airspace.
