The "4 point" Aimtrak solution was never progressed for that reason. It has been used but it was done by a large-scale provider of installations where people are located a great distance from the screen. Its not suitable for arcade cabinet use. Also a wide-angle lens such that the gun can see all 4 points introduces a great deal of distortion which makes it less accurate not more. |

Well from what we've all gleamed via pics and schematics, a lot of commercial games use a convoluted method of flashing leds in sequence, with led number ?? being in frame tells the game that the gun is in quadrant x/y and position is calculated from there. |

So the logic knows which LED is lit at any one time. Using a system such as this splits the system up because host software would be needed to control a LED driver board and extra installation of LEDs around the screen. |
