--- Quote from: Silver on January 23, 2006, 07:12:27 am ---This gun looks very promising, as mentioned in a previous thread I've ordered one to test it out. Hopefully it will be accurate enough. (And stay accurate in 2 player mode - strangely it will only work with 1 LED stand in use in 2 player mode.) Its a similar technolgy to the later House in the Dead arcade games (which had infra red LED's all round the screen for tracking). --- End quote --- As it reads in their FAQ, you just need to set up one SET of LED stands... At least, that's how it sounds to me... |

Since this is infrared and not using a visible light source I assume it would work with the LED stands mounted behind tinted glass. When someone has one of these things in-hand can you take a moment to verify this? |

Cost has not come through yet, but its $29.99 US + shipping, so I think |

I wont be able to get behind the glass again now that my cabinet is completed. I will have to mount the stands externally, neatly somehow.. if its just 1.5cm in width it might not be too much of a problem... |

It certainly mentions that other infra-red sources (yellow lights/sunlight/reflections off the ground) will interfere with the gun. It may have an impact of range. I think the limit is 4-5meters. I also suspect based on the technology that you can't get too close - the gun presumably needs to see all the LED point sources at the same time. I will try when I get mine, although I don't have any tinted glass. (or a cab either...) --- End quote --- Tinted glass should not affect it at all.. think a hifi cabinet with a DVD player inside, very often the glass is tinted, yet you can still use your remote control just fine |
