Merge 6D0F Blaster is the future of AR Laser Tag

This ARKit- and ARCore-ready toy transforms an iPhone or Android phone into a smooth blasting-game machine. We gave it a shot at CES 2018, and were pleasantly surprised by its graphics and multiplayer capabilities. If it all comes together, we could be witnessing the future of toys.

Do they have a California compliant version?

Was thinking about this today. Interesting to see other people had the same idea. Should just 3D print props that can hold a cell phone with a cheap controller trigger. Not sure this is going to make it...But interesting. The laser tag I always dreamed of as a kid may eventually be a reality! Hopefully in time for my kids.

really need to design the blasters better

Multiplayer as in online multiplayer or hotspot-wifi multiplayer ?

Is it charging my phone at the same time?

Still not what I'm looking for in AR. What we need are glasses that encompass 100% of the human field of view.

THAT would be the killer product to make *real* AR happen -- not just dumb phone gyroscope & camera tricks.

Good, another hunk of plastic that would only be used one every few months.

Ok... guys. V is for virtual, what's the A in AR? forgive me...

My gosh, is this serious? There have been many previous physical gun controllers that have absolutely failed to take off. I don't see how this can possibly be any different, especially with such an ugly design.

Also multiplayer phone laser tag, but you need a whole open hall to play? just sounds like a bad idea.
