By Della Monroe


A lot of people like participating in recreational activities and sports when they have extra time. There are numerous team and individual sports and activities that people can get involved in, such as laser tag. This is the name of an activity where players attempt to score points by tagging various targets, usually with hand-held, infrared-emitting devices. Many different laser tag games are played around the world, including in San Diego, CA.

This is a popular activity for people of many different age groups. It may be preferred to paintball because it as not as painful. There are no projectiles that can hurt a person. When it comes to indoor versions, the game is also less physically demanding because there is not running or roughhousing permitted as these venues. The game can involve different set ups and styles. It might be played inside or outside. Sometimes combat simulations are used. Others might enjoy role play when participating in this activity.

These set ups require infrared signaling in order to track lasers that are fired. With indoor playing, there are visible lasers and fog incorporated into the setting to give off the effect of firing. However, these are not part of the actual transmission of signals.

In many systems, infrared signal is transmitted through laser. Fired signals are coded with info like which pack sent out the original signal and other information. This is also a must when it comes to scoring and preventing interference from other devices in the area.

Indoor sessions are usually done in large arena-like venues. These may be dark or light. Packs used are tightly integrated with devices within this space. Both devices and packs are linked to computers that help control and score the game using infrared links and radio devices.

Outdoor tag will differ in equipment, sensors used and more. The operators will run this in the same was as they do with inside laser tag or even with paintball sessions. Nowadays, it is common for theme parks and similar facilities to offer this services to encourage more customers. There are also some competitions and tournaments based around the game.
