laser show

Focused light entertainment

A laser show is an entertainment display using colored laser beams projected through fog or haze to create patterns, images, and animations, typically synchronized to music.

Planetariums and concert venues commonly feature laser shows: We caught the Pink Floyd laser show at the science center.

The beams sweep and dance, producing geometric shapes and visual effects impossible with conventional lighting.
