Elimination of spreading IR beam signals

What does distinguish “premium” laser tag system from the “average” ones?
 

Laser tag technology – shoot, part 1: Elimination of spreading IR beam signals

At the heart of all laser tag systems is the IR or laser beam, the most important information channel. The beam carries all the tags and hit information and is critical for the perfect game experience.  Accurate and realistic gameplay relies on the tagger being able to provide precise data flow and hit registration in all circumstances. To create gamer satisfaction and long-term repeat business, shots fired, hits received, must be accurate and registered every time.  

Perhaps you have already encountered the situation when your players grumpily indicate that they have hit players (often their own teammates) who were not aimed at with their weapons. Those who were not even in front of them, but to the right or left. They ask anxiously what the reason for this is, it spoils their game experience and drastically reduces their trust. 

Belong the most important functions at laser tag games as the shooting distance (should be min. 150 – 200 metres in bright sunshine) and the rock-solid reliable receiver (with 100% hit detection) the third most important factor is the elimination of the signal’s spread.

When the IR LED is not precisely adjusted and there is no well-constructed LED tube, within 3-5 meters the shot signals spread in a wide range and hit players around. No matter if any player accidently hits the teammates nearby is a source of a major frustration for all players. 

Therefore, it is in the business’s interest to provide a suitable game experience with the best and most reliable devices on the market. One of the most important elements of this is the elimination of signal’s spread.

By recognized its importance and developed a unique and well tested solution we successfully eliminated the 100% of the signal’s spread. In our games there are no more accidental close hits from spread signals even at a shooting distance of 200 m. 

For this success:  

    • all optics are manufactured individually,  
    • set on test benches,  
    • placed into tubes which was developed and optimized for exactly this purpose. 

Additionally, we provide specially developed optics-, IR LEDs-, and an optimized shot protocols for the proper shots. 

Intager laser tag shot & receiver solutions do not only eliminate the spread signals, but also provide additional premium features such as: 

    • long shooting distance, even in bright summer sunlight (200m) 
    • eliminate all unregistered hits (100% shot – hit rate) 
    • receiver sensors optimized with unique solutions that work efficiently in any circumstances. 

 The topics above will be covered in our next newsletters. 

Sometimes it is difficult for the buyer – if does not have prior information – to find the differences that helps to get the best laser tag solution. In the following articles, we will highlight which premium solutions are necessary to run your business more easily and successfully.

The secret to a successful business – Laser Q arena in the Maldives

What first comes to mind when you think of the Maldives? Snow white sand, beautiful sunshine, crystal blue ocean, palm trees.

Yes… this is the Maldives. That, but much more!

We present to you the most popular laser tag place in the islands: the Laser Q arena! A group of friends opened it in the summer of 2021 to provide playful, evening entertainment for local youth and tourists vacationing on the islands.

The arena soon became very popular thanks to its professional laser tag equipment and professional organization. They launched marketing campaigns, organize local tournaments from time to time, so it is not surprising that they have players who return even on a weekly basis, for whom the new gaming experience is important. So, this is a nice challenge for us to keep providing them with new games over and over.

For us, the Laser Q arena is the good example of how to turn Intager devices and games into a successful business.

Congratulations to them again!

Why is it a “Best Practice”

The operator enjoys all the advantages of the simple router system meanwhile excludes all its disadvantages. The Smartbox is an “intelligent router” which is not only responsible for the Wi-Fi communication but runs the game as an independent device.

Smartbox vs. Wi-Fi router:

  • The game engine runs on the Smartbox so

    • in order the operator close the app or switches off his phone or tablet (e.g., incoming call or battery issue),
    • the operator’s device is out of the Wi-Fi range or 
    • other operator enters the game with another device

the game and the statistics will operate flawlessly. Despite the normal Wi-Fi router when the game would be lost.

  • It is equipped with a built-in antenna that never gets stuck or breaks. Therefore, easy to use and deliver.
  • IIt has built-in battery which is sufficient for 10 hours of continuous use. The Smartbox is equipped with a USB plug, therefore it is easy to connect a simple 3,7V power bank to extend the operation time.

Intager Game Manager software has been available on desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones so far. We have decided to supply a new option to all our customers for free! This is the new Operator App 2.0.
