OK—while the Light Talk II will never win awards for increased productivity in the workplace it sure does sound like a lot of fun. It’s like a talking light saber for the terminally bored.

According to the Light Talk II’s write up you can draw a picture or write a short message, scan it and then by waving the gadget in the air like a Harry Potter wanna-be your message will appear lit up in the air. Like I said, this sounds like a fun gadget to carry around with you but I think you’ll have to be careful not to use it too often when the boss is around. You might get it taken away and given detention.

“Picture this: you are in a meeting, bored out of your mind. So you doodle on your note pad, pretending to take notes. Suddenly, you realize you might have created the world’s greatest doodle and you need to share it with your equally bored coworker on the other side of the table. Pull out your LighTalk II; problem solved.
With a push of a button, the LighTalk II has scanned the image into its memory. Flip the switch to the display mode, and wave the pen-shaped LighTalk II back and forth like an upside down pendulum. Your image will be created in the air by a strip of orangey LEDs, and all will be amazed. Persistence of vision at it’s best. But this is version 2.0, which has some incredible new features. Apart from holding four more scans than version 1, you now have the ability to display one message after another in Continuous Display Mode. Also, with the new IR feature, you can “beam” your drawings and messages straight into a friend’s LighTalk II. Now, not only can you flash your doodle, you can share it too!”
