BeaconCall
A night begin with friends gathered at a bar having a few drinks, that turn into more drinks and so on so forth. As the night progresses we enter a night club scenario where friends alike are spread amongst the crowd into separate corners talking to random and guest alike.
BeaconCall
is a devise similar to that of the Bat-Call in the Comic/Cartoon/Film Batman. Here the hero is summoned to save the day. BeconCall is a devise where the symbol can be customized to a group of friends as a calling sign to re-group when and where necessary in close proximity to the beamer. It can be used as a distress call, using the distress beacon, or be switched using a slider mechanism for a call of shots or round of drinks… All in all it’s a personal calling devise between a group of friends, allies that allows non-mobile communication within a noisy environment from a small convenient lighter size devise….

The beacon used in Batman was a huge spotlight. How well can something this small work? And in a crowded environment, possibly with flashing lights in the room, how visible will a small symbol be on the cieling unless you know exactly where to look? |

I guess it would just have to be some sort of "laser" |

using 21st Technolagy... these "laser" beams would be small and powerfull enough to answer your questions 21quest. |

Yeah, but laser pointers already come with multiple lense caps for projecting different images on walls/ceilings. What's new about this? |
|

Using lasers/lights for signalling is hardly a new idea. Signalling in a bar/nightclub doesn't constitue a new idea or invention. If this was for a new kind of signalling device, now that's different. But the device and it use are both baked. This is just suggesting using both in a different location. Not very original. |

At New Orleans Jazz fest, people would put some sort of flag or thing on top of long poles so that members of their group could see from far away where everyone else in their group was. People without them could even use them as reference points to find their people - pretty cool, I think. |
