Could You Make A Suit For Lazer Tag?

[Gizmo j]

I was thinking of a full body suit that is sensitive to lazers for lazer tag.

Maybe it can be connected to a smartphone to keep track of the lazer guns.

Possible?

 

[IronWing]

Yes, do it.

 

[JM Aggie08]

Anything is possible through the Lord.

Dude...if you want to be a leper, why not just say so. Hansen's Disease is curable nowadays though...

Synonym of leper: a person suffering from Hansen's disease; a person suffering any contagious disease requiring similar isolation.

Just need a flexible Solar film/fabric and some way to identify the location of contact with the lazar. Last part is probably the most difficult.

A suit? Swifty wouldn't care if you didn't dress up. Just go in your jammies. It's how I envision you anyway.

 

[Perknose]

And . . . from now on I shall address you as Swifty. It's a perfect fit.

I am sure it could be done, just remember to answer these questions before you put time, effort and money into the project.
What’s the purpose of the suit?
What’s the total cost of developing the suit?
What’s the benefit of the suit vs doing the next best thing?

And...a full body suit? You aren't in TRON, okay buddy? That'd be a hell of a lot of optical/IR sensors you'd need. Make this suit...in theory...and who are you going to go play LaserTag with? Hint: it was fun at 10 years old...but now? Well, I guess it's YOU, so...

In other words next best option is play paint ball.

In other words next best option is play paint ball.

Or even airsoft (which has paint ammo, just MUCH smaller) for less/no pain. Airsoft tend to be more realistic-looking though so don't get shot by cops while playing with them. Paint it orange if need be.

Everybody I seen playing Lazer Tag is a keyboard commando in size XXXXL tacticool gear.
So no, you do not need a special suit for your business. In fact it may cost you some business.

I'm not convinced this account isn't some kind of social experiment.

I'm also shocked at OP's low post count since I see these threads all the time. That likely speaks more to the state of the forum than anything else.

He's notorious for creating threads and not posting in them (but claims to read all the replies). He posts the same threads on other forums too. You may be right, but the jury is still out IMO.

design a fabric that changes color when hit with a laser beam - next best thing to powerful lasers that burn holes

Seems like paintball with extra steps.

He occasionally replies, he’s spoken about his life in at least one thread. Guy has some problems but also seems to have the big problems under control (excellent work OP!). Pretty interesting guy in my opinion just a bit shy.

Yeah, I know he occasionally replies, but he's notorious for not replying.

That'd be a hell of a lot of optical/IR sensors you'd need.

Meh!
Just print qr codes on any clothing you like, different ones for every body part, shape a smartphone into a gun and make the trigger take a pic and run a qr scanner on it, if it recognizes any qr code it registers a hit to that body part.
Or send all of that data to a local server to deal with it faster than the smartphones would.
Change qr codes into distinct geometrical shapes if qr codes are too difficult to pick up on a smartphone cam.

It won't be "lazer" anymore but then again when was IR ever lazer.
