Problem Statement There are many people today who use laser for various applications: to aid in presentations, medical imaging, and defense. Under many use scenarios they are negatively affected by unwanted vibrations, one such example is a nervous presenter using a laser pointer. New Scale Technologies (NST) has developed a proprietary module that steers a laser beam using piezoelectrics and mirrors. Currently they cannot actively detect and compensate for hand vibrations. To achieve this a handheld and user friendly unit is to be developed utilizing the NST module. Concerns for development include: package size, operating temperature and duration, and unwanted motion attenuation.

Use Scenarios -Presentations -Reducing unwanted hand vibrations -Customers of NST -Medical -Defense
