Global laser tag technology innovator, Battlefield Sports, has launched its third generation of the SATR software. Battlefield Sports is the original brand of outdoor laser tag, having started back in 1999 with an analog system.
Battlefield Sports originally launched its digital platform, SATR1, in 2009.
The team has continuously sought to improve and innovate. In 2014 SATR2 was launched.
Then in 2017, the company launched SATR3. Gamers and operators have benefited from some exciting new benefits.
During the last several years, Battlefield Sports has continued to innovate.
So What's New?
Our brand of laser tag guns enables gamers to fire infrared "bullets' to simulate direct-fire, integrating authentic light and sound effects with real-time hit feedback. Now SATR3 also supports the American Civil War, monsters, spell casting, and tank battles! Not to mention our new game format: Battlefield Royale!
The core patented features of SATR remain, such as the real-time hit-feedback and the peer-to-peer operations. The real-time hit-feedback is improved and even more reliable with the expanded functionality of the new radio repeater.
As before the Master Controller is your portable device that sets up and manages the games. The menus have been categorized into:
SATR3 is an immersive live gaming or live-action role play (LARP) gaming system. Gamers worldwide can gear up for the most authentic, thrilling, live gaming experience with this new technology.
This is the next generation of live video gaming - be a part of the action.
