The cult classic movie LOOKER becomes real in the avatar sense. Sadly not in the hardware sense. Anyone one know how to build the actual LOOKER hardware?

Light Ocular-Oriented Kinetic Emotive Responses (L.O.O.K.E.R.) is effectively an optical stun gun. Those exposited to the device are stunned to stop moving and lose time. It would be considered "non-lethal weapon" today.
