Who Made The Laser Tag Happen

By Martha Williams


Without any doubt, laser tag is one of the reason why childhood of nineties kids rocked so hard, it was unforgettable. As a matter of fact, this is the only place where the saying that says never talk to strangers, is not being practiced a lot. Kids were able to play and talk to people without knowing the names. The game itself caused an undeniable amount of excitement and made everyone look forward to weekend to be able to play. This, without the laser tag builder behind it will never even be possible.

This pastime was the most played tag game there is, it involved guns that are beaming infrared when aimed. Also, the vest worn by every player adds to the illusion by it being infrared sensitive that caused to indicate different color when killed by an opponent. Even the exact place called arena is made to be sensitive to the infrared that created a simulating illusion when firing objects all over the place.

Since the game uses a high technology software linked to each of the components, it then created a close to real life fights and combats. The simulation caused by the its technology provides a realistic military atmosphere that though fictitious, still feels like entirely real.

It was late nineties when a brilliant mind invented the very first arena. This became a popular outdoor and indoor activity, whether which of the two is preferable, that was indeed fun nonetheless. It also involved various game play to choose from such as team combat, role playing and more.

There was also a game that works close to it but was not as popular. It is named Paint ball. Although, highly engaging as well, it was said to cause pain to player when the paint hit the body. This tangible projectiles that was used as weapon is the reason others got hurt.

The guy behind the amazing success of laser tag was George Carter III. This contribution to the amusement industry was given much importance that he was awarded with recognition that made him renowned. This is not surprising considering how the guy gave the kids a happy childhood.

Right after the first arena was invented, of course it became a business right immediately. There were people that were trained to be highly capable of making if not same, more engaging arena. These people then became expert in designing and installing the components significant to have an operational arenas.

Way after many decades, the attraction was never stuck on the same spot. Changes on the technology that was first used vastly differs. This allows a whole new different experience to the new generation that plays the activity. Edgier weapons and sharper graphics are now more simulating and engaging than it was before, all this are innovated by the builders.

Although if certain business is built, it could cost way beyond fifty thousand dollars to completely put it up. Aside from that, a wide space is also needed to at least care or allow thirty people to play inside it without crowding the entire place. But, given the fact that this game became a part of the life of most kids, this would bring a huge profit for sure.
