Yessiree! Indeed, it is colorful, Celt, but probably not in the way you were thinking. And, John, not a scanner, though the technology is related.

Carlos got it: it is a keyboard:
Epic - Laser Projection Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard

Congrats Carlos!

PM forthwith.

Oooooh! Now I feel stupid. I just saw one of those on TV last week. It is currently the useless toy I most want.

Thank you, Thank you. Really dumb luck as it was a guess. I have purchased things from Think Geek so I may have seen it before. I have seen other ones but the rings sort of threw me off.
Well here is a special tool. Not as cutting edge as either my last post or the virtual keyboard. More an every day tool for some folks. So what is is.
