In 1999 Entrapment, a artwork heist movie was released, and had a scene with Catherine Zeta-Jones skillfully navigating through a room full of lasers, in order to steal a priceless lasers.
A new interactive maze game, called The Heart Collection gives you a chance to try going through a maze of a laser security system, in order to steal some art. The game premiered at the Come Out and Play Festival and was first installed with the William Randolph Hearst collection.
Reports from those who have tried to navigate through the lasers to steal art pieces on the wall report that it is harder than it looks. (It is really hard.)
The game, created by Go Game, has been reengineered to travel and fit into a suitcase sized laser maze construction kit. The kit has custom components including light sensors, aimable lasers, cable connectors, and an arduino board that runs the game software. With the kit, you construct a maze of your own design in about 20 minutes. To vary the difficulty and create levels, this would depend on the physical space that the game is setup and the position of the paitnings that are to be stolen.
Two videos about the game are online, featuring the game creator Gabe Smedresman and also showing the game in action.
