Mariah Beckman, GIZORAMA - "Using Bluetooth and WiFi, LyteShot gives players physical receivers and transmitters, not just access to devices that can be discovered. The initial premise behind these peripheral technologies brings to mind a sort of real-world assassin game, or laser tag. You can sink the battleship that is your friend using this untethered Duck Hunt style game.
LyteShot is excited about the implications of this type of game. They’re also excited because the technology behind LyteShot is open-source. This means that the limits of this kind of platform are only as minute as the imagination of developers. We sat down with LyteShot’s CEO Mark Ladd and CTO Tom Ketola to learn more about what’s going on with this newest offering from the virtual gaming community, and about what to look for in the months to come."
GameCrate runs around the streets of LA during a hands-on demo of LyteShot.
If you’re looking for a way to expand your gaming horizons, or you simply want to add a bit of fun to your workout routine, the guys at LyteShot are mixing modern gaming, advanced technology and your mobile devices to bring true and physical role-play gaming to the masses – with your help.
I think it's like a super advanced version of laser tag, which I'm totally cool with. Hope to see more, and I really hope this thing gets funded.
LyteShot Inc. today announced it will demonstrate its live action, augmented reality gaming platform on the Epson Moverio BT-200 smart glasses at CES 2015
