How to make your computer projector into a laser light show for a party.?

Question

i've been trying to use a winamp plug-in laser light show on a computer projector for a party. is there a way to make the lasers more visible?? BTW i can't afford to buy a real laser projector :)

Answer 1

Keep the room very dark, or use a very bright white screen, and don't make the image too big.  Or are you trying for the "laser tunnel" effect with smoke?  Mall novelty stores usually have inexpensive laser light show units that do various Spirograph patterns, and look pretty cool with smoke.

Answer 2

You can crank up the brightness and contrast on the projector but thats about it.

Answer 3

You can't make the device brighter, but you could lower the light in the room and achieve the same effect.
