Designed with first-person shooter play in mind, it will create a new level of immersion, which basically allows people to feel as though they are truly fighting in the game. The [Verge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performancedriven-gaming-peripherals) reports, "Physical movements would track directly onto the virtual version of the gun, allowing a player to aim at a variety of targets without changing the player view." Designed by TrinityVR, the affordable motion-control gun is currently in a prototype stage. The company hopes to raise at least $60,000 on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-fitter-smart-archery-and-shooting) to bring it to life. If it reaches that realistic goal, the Trinity Magnum would sell for under $100. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Affordable Motion-control Gaming:** There is an opportunity for creating more affordable motion-control gaming equipment to improve immersion and experiences. - **Virtual Reality Integration:** An opportunity for integrating virtual reality in various activities, such as gaming, to create a new level of immersion. - **Crowdfunding for Innovation:** Crowdfunding can be a viable option for raising funds and making innovative products like the Trinity Magnum possible. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming:** The gaming industry can greatly benefit from more affordable and immersive motion-control equipment to improve gaming experiences. - **Virtual Reality:** The virtual reality industry has an opportunity to expand its market by creating more immersive products like the Trinity Magnum. - **Crowdfunding:** The crowdfunding industry has a growing role in making innovative products like the Trinity Magnum a reality by connecting innovators with funders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Realistic Archery Simulators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-fitter-smart-archery-and-shooting.md) - [Avatar Motion Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alt-motion-controller.md) - [Full-Body-Tracking VR Rigs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omni-one-core.md) - [Multi-Position Smartphone Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telegun-smartphone-controller.md) - [Full-Body Motion-Tracking Game Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebuff-reality-bodylink.md) - [Metaverse-Ready Locomotive Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kat-loco.md) - [Virtual Reality Wrist Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vive-wrist-vr-tracker.md) - [Nausea-Abating VR Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vr-platform.md) - [Collaborative Gaming Chair Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-1.md)
