Anyone heard of this?

Basically there's a sensor that you clip on to your clothes and you shoot at the sensor with a gun that uses infrared, so you can play lazer tag anywhere. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth, and your phone keeps track of the scores and can log them online. They're trying to make it an open source platform to attract people to make their own games for it. Seems like a really cool idea to me but I think it's still a couple years from living up to expectations

Do people still want to play laser tag? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it back in the day, but I'm surprised people are still trying to make a go of it.

Heard about some kids coming up with this awhile back. Don't think it'll ever be reliable though.

I already have to deal with the stigma of being an adult gamer. I don't think running around the park waving wands at each other would help but I'd probably do it anyway. It looks pretty awesome.

It's all fun and games until the cops show up and kill a hipster carrying a concealed wand and blasts a hole in his dog for good measure.

Looks like it won't happen anytime soon since their Kickstarter was cancelled with only $40,000 of $160,000 needed. It would be cool to see a project like this take place though. It's just a higher up front cost ($150 for 1 player) than going play at a laser tag place for $20
