Do we know if the MAR IR Station will have to sit on top of the TV (i.e. like wiimote sensor bar, Aimtrak, etc.)? I only ask because it might be hard to fit into an arcade cabinet given how big it is. Looks pretty sweet though. Can't wait to learn more about it, especially if it could be compatible with emulators (i.e. Teknoparrot, MAME, Supermodel, etc). |

So it will need to be out in front of the screen which brings a different set of issues. |

In the meantime waiting for the release of their light guns will be nice if we can get access to the software used by Chinese guy on YouTube doing basically the same but with a Ps3 camera aimed to the screen and in the diy light gun a wireless mouse for the inputs bottoms with a infrared laser pointer. I find on Ebay these Ir pointer https://www.ebay.com/itm/980nm-5mW-IR-Infra-Red-Laser-Pointer-Pen/141364503544?epid=1831350055&hash=item20e9fb23f8:g:nzIAAOxy6MBSRbFW The ps3 camera are very cheap also a wireless mouse. And any gun shell. This setup can be very cheap. But it is worthless without the software to get the position of the laser with the camera. I try to reach the guy on the video but don't reply the message. |

I can probably do the software part but the hardware is what I'm worried about. Not sure what wavelength of ir laser is safe... it'll definitely reflect back in your eye at some angles. A ps3 camera is a poor choice because it uses homebrew drivers, but I'm not sure what camera would be best. |

The laser need to be modified for lower power maybe a resistor and dimming the beam until the minimum to still be detected by the camera. Otherwise an ir flashlight with adjustable focus can do the trick |
