Go Play Holdings filed 1 patent this quarter in the VR & AR category.
The patent covers a system that transforms gel blaster and paintball activities into mixed-reality first-person shooter experiences by combining real projectiles with digital overlays. The technology includes smart hit detection, virtual weapon systems, and tracking capabilities for gamified outdoor gameplay.
The single VR & AR patent addresses a longstanding problem in physical projectile sports: automatically determining who shot whom during gameplay. The system uses what's called "co-witnessing" hit attribution, combining piezoelectric sensors that detect physical impacts with infrared detection to create a verifiable record of each hit. This data feeds into an augmented or virtual reality gaming layer, overlaying digital elements like weapon interfaces and scoring onto the real-world activity. The result is trackable gameplay metrics for gel blaster and paintball matches that previously had to rely on player honesty or manual observation to keep score.
