<p>The Beamz is a laser-based invention that is connected to a computer via USB. This allows you to play hundreds of musical instruments in a true Jean Michel Jarre style by breaking the laser beams with your hands.</p>
<p><span id="more-1423"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
The beamz system has a &#8220;W&#8221; shape, with six laser beams spanning the two sections; connect via USB to your PC or laptop, and hook up some speakers. The simple, intuitive computer interface makes it easy to choose any of 30 included songs in 19 musical genres for laying down a complementary rhythm track. The beamz library includes original works in jazz, bluegrass, classical, hip-hop, reggae, heavy metal and more.
</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://www.geekalerts.com/u/beamz2.jpg" width="225" height="200" class="border" alt="Beamz" title="Beamz" /></p>
<blockquote><p>
Breaking the laser beams with your hands automatically generates pre-authored pulses, streams, riffs or loops of musical notes or sounds from an incredible variety of instruments from around the world — guitars, steel guitar, strings of all types, percussion, keyboards, winds.even cowbell. Sophisticated high-fidelity sounds seem to pour from your fingertips like magic!
</p></blockquote>
<p>The <a href="http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/product/sku__BZ100">Beamz Music Performance System</a> stands 19 inches tall and is available from The Sharper Image for $599.95 (software and USB cable is included).</p>
