Iirc some guy was DIYing modern light guns that don't need a sensor but idk what happened with the project. It's not like there's any mass produced light guns anymore anyway
The Sinden Lightgun is a camera, basically, and uses borders drawn on the screen to determine where it is. There's another thing, Gun4IR or something, which I believe uses an external sensor.
To be honest, while I have a Sinden lightgun, I never use it. VR has basically completely superseded lightguns for me, railshooters are just flatout better in VR.
Not really.
The PS3-4 Wii clones use a combination of a camera and the gyros to get the aim, and then there's this.

The company held a contest on the old steam user forums to win some. You had to beat one of their staff in a one-on-one match in TF2 (pre-arena, iirc).

The whole contest definitely had the air of being thrown together last minute. I have vague memories of there being zero organization.
Modern laser mice are low-res cameras
It's pretty interesting and the stuff they toyed with is probably closer to that than the idea of go-pros as light guns
OK I need you guys to help me figure out what I'm talking about. There's a obscure indie game that I saw in a chart here, and it's a french(?) game where you go through different worlds with a talking female gun and she's trying to get you to do evil shit the entire time.
How do modern light guns even work? Do they need sensors mounted to your monitor?

Hopefully computer vision hw will keep miniaturizing to the point we don't need the borders.

Either sensors or a camera.
>or a camera.
This sounds like it'd be such overkill
It's how PSVR and similars do it.
VR is totally different from light guns anon

So what actual light guns use a camera
Cameras are cheap enough right now that everything can have one or multiple of them. Maybe someone could make a lightgun by putting a phone into it.
It's not about the cost of parts you moron, it's the about the complication of the implementation.
Its not 1995 anymore cameras are in fricking everything now.

Not a camera, just a brightness sensor.
Isn't that literally the NES lightgun?
That's why the screen flashed when you shot so it had an easier time picking up the white/black contrast
If the slide doesn't move back and forward with every shot it's not even and I cannot.
Isn't this the shit that killed Shinzo Abe?
Tooo soon bro.
You'll be all using Apple AR shit in three months
