The company has developed an interactive music and laser controller technology that can be implemented in various music, game, education, therapy, senior care, lighting and consumer applications.
The company’s professional and consumer products (Beamz Education and Healthcare, or Beamz EHC and Beamz by Flo product families and collectively the Beamz or Beamz Products) can bring music to everyone in a manner that has previously not been possible. By connecting the Beamz to a PC or MAC computer, iPad, or iPhone, depending upon the model, and installing the associated software, the user can ‘play’ a range of digitized musical instruments by simply interrupting one or more laser beams with their hands, or by playing the touch screen on their mobile device. This allows them to create great music in conjunction with a background rhythm track of original, popular, and children’s songs across various music genres (e.g., jazz, blues, hip hop, rock, classical or Latin). In each song the user can select up to 12 different instruments, music clips and sound effects that are harmoniously paired with a background rhythm track, resulting in various instruments to choose from across all songs in the Beamz music library.
In the combination of the Beamz laser controller with the Beamz interactive music software application, the laser controller is the trigger and playback method for single music notes, chords, sound effects, vocals and music files. The company has commercialized various products that use the Beamz interactive laser controller technology for music making and music-controller related products. Its Beamz EHC product family includes the Professional and Home Editions. The Professional Edition is designed for use by professionals in educational or therapeutic settings. In schools, for example, the Beamz is being used to teach learning concepts, implement therapy protocols in special needs classrooms, or as a sensory solution for children with autism or other disabilities. During the upcoming months, Beamz is planning to offer professional lesson plans and therapeutic protocol manuals, all of which would be paired and used with Beamz music content, and adapter plates that allow the user to attach the Beamz to a desk, wheelchair, or other platform. The Beamz can also be paired with switches that allow users who are unable to break the laser beams to play the sounds to simply push a switch to generate the same result.
In addition, the company offers a Beamz Home Edition, which is universally designed so that anyone, regardless of age or ability level, can actively participate in making music. In addition to the sheer pleasure of playing music and creating original song mixes, Beamz can be used in very specific ways to target skill development or extend physical and cognitive therapies at home.
As of September 2014, the company’s primary product offering consisted of three product lines, including the Beamz EHC product family, which includes the Beamz EHC Professional and Home Editions, the Beamz By Flo consumer product family, and stand-alone software applications that work on PCs, MACs, iPhones, iPads and Android devices without connecting to the Beamz hardware. The company produced and distributed to customers approximately 13,000 units of its first and second generation Beamz products. The first units of its Beamz by Flo product began shipping in September 2013 and the Beamz EHC product family first shipped in January 2014. In addition to these primary product lines, the company offers music and other content, which can be purchased for use with its applications and/or the Beamz Products.
