Innovations in Laser Tag Technology

 

  The Battlefield Sports brand of Laser Tag has greatly changed since the first innovations in the 1990s.

Improvements in technology over the years and an expansion in locations worldwide have meant that laser tag's appeal has grown to a broader audience.

The latest innovations in the laser tag sector aim to offer a realistic gaming experience as part of a multi-activity offer.

 

The Battlefield Sports SATR laser tag system utilizes patented hit-feedback, peer-to-peer technology, and no need for a central computer. 

Traditional laser tag is played in a dark, foggy maze. 

When you shoot somebody, their gaming gun deactivates for a few seconds, and you are rewarded with points.

The Battlefield Sports game turned this one on its head. Gamers are allocated a set number of hit points (just like in a video game), and if they have been shot, say, 5 times, the gamer must retreat to their base camp for a respawn.

The gaming guns have an integrated LCD, authentic light and sound effects, and digital radio real-time statistics.

 

An Experience of a Modern Multi-Player Shooter is Brought to Life

 The gamer gets real-time scoring updates on their health, kill count, time left in the mission, and ammunition count.

The SATR system has 370+ emulations. The weapon emulations have authentic rates of fire, reload times, and ammo allocation.

"The most popular game is "Domination" SATR records real-time 'owns' so you know when you've hit the objective.

This updates the gamer's screen. The Domination Box itself records how long each team is in control, automatically, just like a live video game," said Nicole Lander, co-founder at Battlefield Sports.

SATR gameplay is enhanced with additional game devices for in-game perks, such as the Ammo Box, which acts as an Ammo Dump, and the Mystery Box, which can upgrade (or downgrade) a gamer's weapon.

In addition to syncing game information across the devices, the real-time hit feedback is core.

The SATR system means you know when you've got someone, no matter the terrain. SATR records each gamer's Kill/Death ratio (K/D ratio) and Assist/Wound ratio (A/W). The system can also be configured to a more family-friendly theme, so the "Casualties" become "Tags" and the "Kills" become "Deactivations" (as shown in the display above). 

The Gaming Gun software emulations are categorized into four classes: handgun, SMG, Rifle, and LMG. The idea is that the gaming gun model should match the weapon emulation. A smaller gaming gun, such as a submachine gun, has a shorter range than a sniper rifle. The Awesome Cobra, for example, has a standard combat range of around 300 feet (80m). The SATR Morita Sniper has a standard combat range of over 500 feet (150m).
