[hide]Overview
A universal laser tag system able to integrate any other laser tag systems past and present.
Ideas
- one vest to rule them all
- gun decode capture station
- untethering tutorials
- recharge stations
- custom accessories
- compatibility with commercial setups
one vest
This is essentially the backbone of the whole idea. The vest would contain multiple targets and a central microcontroller/computer capable of decoding the output of these targets along with a wireless solution for relaying data back to a central server. Software updates to the vest would allow for an increased set of decodes when needed.
ToDo
- how are the targets constructed?
- what are we using for wireless?
- UID?
- tracking player in an arena
- tagging data being relayed back to the central server
- how to control the gun's functions from the vest?
- disabling the gun when shot
- managing ammo?
decode station
A station where new data can be collected about laser tag sets so the vests can be updated before the game.
ToDo
- how are the targets constructed?
- what data needs to be collected at this time?
