Laser Tag with Planes
World Maker Faire New York 2018
September 22nd-23rd
Find out how we fitted a fleet of remote controlled planes with laser tag equipment to recreate the Battle of Britain for an upcoming TV show. You'll see clips from the show, hear about how we setup 12 channels of head-tracking FPV video and auto-firing pyrotechnics, and monitored it all wirelessly.
