Is this possible ?

I have came across a couple of apps on the app store that claim to be laser pointer apps . I download them and it is just a lousy laser on the screen ! Im sure this has probably happened to some of you and it steams my peas when this happens . So I want to know is it possible to make something come out of the camera with a corona sdk app ? A light a laser pointer like beam ? Anything if so how do I do this . Thank you .

Nope.  The ‘phone’ would need to have a laser.  I’m sure no devices out there have lasers as that’s a liability issue waiting to happen.

I can see the headlines now,  “Apple sued by soccer mom: ‘My Billy was blinded by the new iLaser!’; Wins $10M settlement!”

Hi @trueisawesome,

Well, no device I know of has a laser emitter, so no, that’s not possible. :slight_smile: The closest you could come (and this is reaching) is to turn on the torch/flashlight… but that is slightly higher-level functionality which Corona SDK doesn’t directly have a function for. However, if you’re interested, check out this tutorial to see how it can be done:
