Doesn't work. and now I'm having a hard time seeing through all these spots.
In summary, laser light reading is a technique that uses a laser beam to read information from a reflective surface. It is more accurate and faster than traditional methods and has a wide range of applications, including barcode scanning and document scanning. The benefits of using laser light reading include its speed, accuracy, and non-contact reading capabilities. However, it may have limitations on certain surfaces and can be expensive to set up.

What were you pointing it at? 
Did you read the warning label on it first?

I was trying to read something written on the inside bottom of a can but I couldn't get light to shine through the hole so I used a laser pointer.

FAQ: Reading by Laser Light: What Could Go Wrong?
What is laser light reading and how does it work?
Laser light reading is a technique used to read information from a surface using a laser beam. The laser beam is directed at a reflective surface, such as a barcode, and the reflected light is captured and processed to retrieve the information.
Is laser light reading more accurate than traditional methods?
Laser light reading is typically more accurate than traditional methods, as it eliminates the potential for human error and can read information at a much faster rate.
What are the applications of laser light reading?
Laser light reading has a wide range of applications, including barcode scanning, document scanning, and optical character recognition. It is also used in scientific research and industrial processes for precise measurements and data collection.
What are the benefits of using laser light reading?
One of the main benefits of laser light reading is its speed and accuracy. It also allows for non-contact reading, which is beneficial for delicate or sensitive materials. Additionally, laser light reading is highly customizable and can be used for a variety of purposes.
Are there any limitations or challenges to using laser light reading?
While laser light reading has many benefits, it does have some limitations. It may not work well on highly reflective or transparent surfaces, and it requires a clear line of sight between the laser and the surface being read. Additionally, the cost of equipment and setup can be a barrier for some applications.
