AppTag Laser Blaster brings first person shooter console gameplay to smartphones in the real world. As with any blaster toy, the object is to shoot your friends, but AppTag adds a whole new dimension! The free AppTag Apps keep score via WiFi and players can pick up augmented reality weapons, ammo packs, health kits, and body armor in a similar way to a console game like Halo™, but this is real life, inside or outdoors! You can play single, multi or team games and AppTag can be used with other guns that have an accessory rail, such as Nerf™, BuzzBee™, etc. For targeting, AppTag uses a focused infrared beam and sensor for the ‘laser’ so it’s totally safe. Each unit has an IR sender and receiver, and the AppTag unit works together with any attached smart device with a camera. Launched as a Kickstarter project by its creator, the Australian Jon Atherton, AppTag is now avaiable for sale at the link below.
