LyteShot: Go Outside & Get In The Game

Determined to bring meaning to the phrase “live action gaming”, Chicago-based game platform creator LyteShot Inc. brings you a completely innovative system of the same name. By just using 3 small components (a mobile application on your smartphone, the “Lyter” device and the “LytePuck Receiver”), you can take your competitive and/or cooperative games to virtually anywhere you’d like. And the experience of this new platform is bound to exponentially grow when you have more people to play with!

A snippet from the LyteShot press kit explains the true vision of what they call the “mobile gaming platform”:

LyteShot is a sensor-based mobile gaming platform that provides unlimited gaming experiences that bolster activity and imagination in the real world. LyteShot creates a new gaming market where players, developers, and makers are only limited by their imagination to create new multiplayer interactive gaming experiences that are connected through the cloud. Whether it’s an RPG, a “true” FPS shooter, a game of tag, scavenger hunt, or an adventure with a complex storyline, each game can take place anywhere, whether it be a backyard, college campus, workplace, city, or across the globe.

One of the joys of this up-and-coming platform is its ability to be completely versatile and open; developers big and small will have access to LyteShot’s SDK (software development kit), bringing forth an entire ocean of possibilities and game types that innovative minds could come together and create. Whether you’re playing good old-fashioned Team Deathmatch, or putting a little spin on TDM rules/objectives, the creativity is at your fingertips.The guys at LyteShot are giving us the tools to open the digital floodgates, letting forth the plethora of crazy content one could only anticipate as they take gaming from the seat of your couch to the far reaches of the outside world!

Co-founder of the company walks us through the versatility that not only is shown in the software, but also the hardware! You can even create your own peripherals to suit the game type you’re playing; you don’t have to limit yourself to just a gun for laser tag. Create a knife for an “assassination” type game, or a saber for real-world dueling!
