— BattleSpective —

Battlespective is a virtual layer on top of the physical play space of a laser tag, airsoft, or paintball game. With the use of new technology, we will create a mini-map of the battle arena and display the location of teammates, objectives, and everything else you need for an epic battle. This way, we make it possible to simulate any game mode and play games like Fortnite and Call of Duty physically in real life! Our game will provide the players with details such as ammunition, lives, score, objectives, player locations, etc. The game will also be able to introduce features such as a health system, fire modes (burst, tap, automatic), kill streaks like a UAV and lightning strike, gun variants and so much more.

By integrating an audio communication system, we want to improve team play and allow the players to launch coordinated attacks which will increase the intensity of the battle. We will start by using a 2D screen as you can see in our prototype trailer, but our intent is to work towards AR technology to improve the immersion for the players. Some of our broader goals with this project are to improve social contact, stimulate movement and welcome the birth of a new competitive world. Overall, we want to create a healthy alternative to video games while still having all the fun!
