The name of an
Orlando based
laser effects company.
Pangolin manufactures PC-based interface boards such as the QM2000 to operate show and entertainment lasers, all utilizing a standard Windows-basedPC. The software can be quite complicated or quite simple, depending on how it is set up...i.e. an operator with years of experience can configure it so a newbie can do cool laser shows by merely hitting F1 through F12 or other keystrokes.
Compared to other software, such as Lasermax, Pangolin systems are quite intuitive though.
One nifty feature of the latest release of the Pangolin software pacakge (consisting of Showtime 2000 and Laser Designer 2000) is they include a version of Asteroids, which can be played using the laser as a gigantic display system.
