They hacked a Nerf gun into a video game controller. Pulling the trigger shoots in the game, pumping it reloads, and pointing it aims, so you play shooter games with a real toy gun in your hands.

"What if you could play an FPS game IRL" was the question that inspired us. Our goal was to enhance the mechanics of an FPS (first person shooter) game into real life using a Nerf blaster. The gameplay turns into something significantly more realistic and immersive. The system lets players control an FPS game using only a Nerf gun (and a bunch of other cool things). Inputs and motions are translated into the game: aiming, turning, pressing our feature buttons and joystick to move, reload and switch weapons. Instead of using a mouse, you can just shoot a (toy) gun, creating a smooth and satisfying connection between the physical and digital experience playing, We divided into hardware and backend teams.
