The visible electronic boards, data communications cables, and tri-colored light emitting diodes give the packs a cybernetic, high tech, futuristic appearance. The system is highly ergonomic. Put the pack on and it feels substantial, even powerful, yet it is still comfortable to wear. The vest and laser rifle together weigh only 8.8 pounds. Pick up the laser rifle and you immediately notice it's weighted, so two hands are necessary for accurate firing, but not physically required for firing.

The packs contain eleven infrared sensors and twelve LED's located on the front, shoulders, and back. Housed in the rifle are two LED's, an infrared sensor, and a liquid crystal display (LCD). The LCD displays the pack number, points, credits (hits), ammo, energy, lives, and current ranking. The rifle utilizes high quality optics and a solid state laser for unequaled precision and realism.

When a player squeezes the trigger, a visible laser beam and an invisible infrared beam fire simultaneously from the rifle, and a digital laser sound effect emits from an amplified speaker in the pack.

Confusion as to whether a player has been hit is a problem with many existing systems, but Intersphere has rectified this issue. When a laser beam strikes a player's sensor, the LaZerware^TM "deactivates" through the following process; a digital explosive sound effect emits from the pack, the LEDs turn off, the two large dome LEDs on the shoulders flash, the LCD indicates which player (or other entity) hit him, and the player is unable to shoot or be hit for a pre-designated time period (typically five seconds). After the set period, the pack re-energizes and will function normally.

Additionally, the player who fired the shot will hear a high-pitched ping sound from his own pack, indicating a hit. They can then check their LCD to see which player they have struck. All scoring information is communicated in "real time" through a radio modem to a central game computer. Players are always aware of their current status in the game. This assures scoring accuracy, gives greater arena mobility, and creates limitless options in game scripting.

The LaZerware^TM is fashioned for earnest abuse. It is forged from rugged, high quality plastics, and can sustain extremely high impact without sustaining damage. The LaZerware^TM is in fact so durable, only twenty-two packs are needed to run twenty player games. It is common practice for other systems to use up to forty packs. Breakdowns are so frequent they must have several backup packs on sight to maintain full capacity. Moreover, the malfunction is typically discovered by a player during a game, which begets an unsatisfied customer.

The reliability of LaZerware^TM eliminates this problem. No other system can boast such a maintenance free operation. Difficulties with the equipment are rare, but all electronics have a limited life span. Fortunately, because of our modular design, repairs can be executed quickly and efficiently by almost anyone. Should a fault occur, simply remove the defective module and replace with a new one. LaZerware^TM has been designed and manufactured in close cooperation with experienced lasergame enthusiasts and operators.

Real Time Radio Communication

Real time communication between the players, LaZerdrones^TM, and the central computer allow unrivaled potential for game development. The central computer continuously monitors each player's progress using a radio transceiver that communicates with each LaZerware^TM pack.

Unlike many systems, LaZerware^TM receives, records, and transmits data while the game is in progress. Players are always aware of their current ranking in the game and as a result, play stays intense up to the last second. In addition, radio-polling creates much greater arena mobility and complete freedom with game scripting. The application of this technology allows a wide range of exciting concepts to be transformed into reality.

Real time radio communication also means quicker game turn-around. Players no longer need to download their gun scores, one player at a time. This means more games played per hour. This becomes critical to maximizing your profits during peak traffic times.
