Last week’s international Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015 might have been filled with the latest selfie-sticks and 3D printed food. But for gamers and technophiles the debut of LyteShot (now live on Kickstarter) made a huge splash with the media, tech, and business community, garnering excitement, critical acclaim, and a prominent award.
Gameplay Video: The LyteShot team issued a gameplay video highlighting augmented reality using the Epson Moverio BT-200 smart glasses, 3D printed peripherals (swords, daggers, guns), and two upcoming games in action. If you missed the video, check it out here.
CES Award: The response from media, attendees, and judges was overwhelmingly positive, culminating in LyteShot being awarded the prestigious CES 2015 Innovation Design Award in the Gaming Hardware & Accessories category.
TechCrunch Hardware Battlefield: LyteShot pitched and was accepted into this year's prestigious TechCrunch Hardware Battlefield event held live at CES 2015. TechCrunch's Hardware Battlefield pits hand-picked start-ups whose fresh and innovative ideas reflect the demands of a tech-driven consumer society. See the TechCrunch preview here.
Accolades: Here are what a few key game and tech sites have said after seeing LyteShot up close and personal.
“…what LyteShot is doing with the sport of kings (laser tag’s the sport of kings, right?) is pretty mind-blowing.” – IGN
“Starting with the gun and puck as a base, the company hopes to build an open platform on which hobbyists and pro developers can build their own gadgets and games.” – TechCrunch
“…it's got a ton of major implications for mobile games, and in particularly those who love the idea of making it a more social activity. LARPers would certainly eat this up.” – Game ‘N Guide
