Everday Object Laser Tag

This Kickstarter is Laser Tag with Everyday Objects and a Hidden Sensor

— April 10, 2013 — Lifestyle
An ambitious Kickstarter project wants to turn everyday objects into a laser tag weapon. The project involves a LED sensor that can be clipped underneath clothing and can detect infrared signals from either the proprietary ‘guns,’ or even from other infrared devices like a television remote.

The guns aren’t shaped like guns, meaning that they’re designed to be used in more sensitive places like school yards. The guns can be clipped onto everyday objects, or even set up like landmines to set up traps for your laser tag playing friends. The guns as they are going now are powerful enough to detect a hit through clothing at more than 20 feet away. As the Kickstarter page describes it, “this is laser tag for James Bond, not RoboCop.”
Trend Themes
1. Everyday Object Laser Tag - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the market potential for everyday objects turned into laser tag weapons, offering a new and unconventional way to play the game.
2. LED Sensor Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced LED sensor technologies that can detect and track infrared signals from various sources, opening up possibilities for applications beyond laser tag.
3. Non-traditional Laser Tag Games - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Pioneer non-traditional laser tag games that can be played in more sensitive areas, such as school yards, by using inconspicuous everyday objects as laser tag guns.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate laser tag technology into the gaming industry, creating immersive and interactive experiences that blur the lines between virtual and physical play.
2. Wearable Tech - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative wearable tech solutions that can discreetly incorporate LED sensors, opening up possibilities for tracking and monitoring in various industries.
3. Entertainment - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative and engaging entertainment experiences by incorporating everyday objects and laser tag technology, offering unique and thrilling experiences for consumers.
