Looks fake. Surprised that tomshardware wrote an article when all we have is a few seconds of marketing video.

Wait until these are in the hands of actual users.

the Photon Matrix has passed stringent certifications to ensure that it will not harm people, pets, and even birds that happen to fly across the device’s target range.

Who's certifying it?

Seems insanely overengineered and potentially dangerous but cool I guess.

We've had regular mosquito zappers for decades now. Is this better somehow?

So you just pray there are no mosquitos at eye level, or does everybody in the vicinity of this machine have to wear 'anti laser glasses'?

Does it distinguish mosquitos from other insects would be my second question. First one is safety, of course. I mean I'd be willing to walk in polarized glasses at home if necessary if this thing works.

We're in the midst of a mass exstinction that's crippling insect populations which are a vital part of the foodchain.

Anything that reduces the biomass of insects is probably a bad idea. A $1000 party toy that also reduces the biomass of insects is definitely a bad idea.

Does it work for flock cameras?

Oh, I have seen this one, its great...

YouTube recommended me Why I'm Skeptical of the Photon Matrix Indiegogo, which is also interesting. It's an appealing idea and no doubt will continue to get better as technology improves but, for now, I too am skeptical.

Was a thing back in 2007,research paid for by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, then patent was shelved. I thought it would be an indefinitely shelving, but maybe they think they can make more money from it now? Back then it was conceived for aid in poor countries. Maybe climate change has made other countries hot enough for mosquitoes to be a problem in countries with money.

"Take my money!"

I wonder if this could be scaled up to target protesters

I'll just stick with my Bug Assault salt gun. Much more fun when it takes your own skill to hit the bastards.

This is how mosquitoes evolve cloaking devices
