Project Motivation
Laser tag is a fun and engaging activity that has long been enjoyed by many people all over the world. It combines strategy, teamwork, athleticism, competition, and fast-paced action, making it a great way for friends and family to spend time together. Traditionally, laser tag has only been available at dedicated facilities with specialized equipment. These venues have provided this unique experience to players for years, however, the landscape of entertainment has greatly shifted in recent times. The rise of at-home entertainment options, including streaming services, gaming systems, and virtual reality goggles, has led consumers to become accustomed to entertainment they can enjoy in the comfort of their own homes. As a result, traditional laser tag venues have experienced a decline in popularity, with many opting for more convenient options compared to these at-home alternatives. While the idea of at-home laser tag systems has emerged as a more favorable alternative, current market offerings are far too expensive to be a justifiable purchase for the average consumer. For example, one of the leading at-home laser tag companies, Laserwar, sells its most basic kit for over $1,300. This kit includes two laser tag guns and two headbands. Furthermore, many at-home kits lack the quality and immersive aspects that have made laser tag enjoyable for so many people. This has left a significant gap in the market for a product that delivers the same entertainment value as traditional laser tag while in the convenience of one's home at an affordable price.
