Toy Fair 2010 – Trip Report
“The Beamz Interactive Music System was most interesting product that I saw at the Toy Fair, and the funny thing is that I wouldn’t consider it a toy at all. It’s an electronic musical instrument that uses laser beams. You know if it uses lasers, that it has to be cool!”

Best of Toy Fair 2010 – Our Top Picks
“No, it’s not a theremin–it’s better. The Beamz Interactive Music System plays like a virtual harp. Three LED beams span across each of its forks, each emulating a different musical instrument that you select using the accompanying PC software. Start off by playing along with pre-programmed tunes, and then you can move on to create, mix and record your own tracks.”

Beamz Lets Everyone Play Musician
“OK, forget Rock Band: The Beamz is here. This remarkable device takes interactive music-making to a whole new level. You make music on the Beamz by passing your hands through six laser beams, each of which sets off “a stream of musical notes and sounds.” These can be preloaded sounds or ones you assign yourself. And you can download and use ever-increasing “Beamz Songs” from the company’s site. Someone who’s not adept at playing a musical instrument (like me, for example) can jump right in–it’s incredibly fun and engaging.”
