Old ravers help - sky writing device for raves

[Mrsmajeeka]

Posting here for traffic. I’ve been talking to friends about going raving in the late 90s and remembered that I had this hand held device that you could type words into and then as you danced and shook it from side to side it wrote the words in the air in red digital letters. Does anyone know what I’m talking about and whether you could still buy one of these gadgets??

I remember them but I don’t remember what they are called.

Were you on something?

Some old mobile phones used to do it.

This was pre mobile phones.

The Es were good then obviously 😂

Yeah it wasn’t a phone, a bit like a pager sized thing.

Yes it wrote like that but not a fan, more like a pager that lit up as you were dancing.

Love the assumption that all ravers were on drugs 😂🙄

Acid?

To be fair most of us were. Good times!

Like this kinda thing

My partner had one of these 2-3 years ago - his was from a Kickstarter and looked a bit like a wand, so maybe was a copy of what you describe? I don't think they kept making them after the Kickstarter though.

No idea what they were called but I definitely saw them so you weren’t imagining it! It was like 🤯 at the time.

I found this the first thing is similar and says it’s from 1990 so by the time I had one around 96/97 it would have been a version of that

I know what you mean, and I think you’ll find them if you search for LED programmable light wand.

I remember tshirts with a screen you could write msgs and it would scroll across in leds. Kinda like the old Dr's waiting room message boards or the train ones
