Sinden Lightgun - looks interesting!

[AdamsArcade]

This looks interesting. Especially as its supposedly more accurate that previous lightguns.
Users a camera rather that IR bars and no calibration needed.

I'm not affiliated by the way, just thought would be an interesting topic to post.

I saw this before, but the kickstarter looks a lot more successful this time. Probably helps that he's shown how it works - white border, camera and lots of processing/trigometry (i.e. making use of what tech you didn't get in the 80's/90's

).

Don't think you'd want to run it for hours on a CRT or rear projection (burn in), but that's not the point of a PC light gun

Impressive effort

Looks great, something that's been needed for so long.

Will be great on a projector playing some MAME games (and of course Singe!)

I do like the look of that, certainly something that is needed in the market.

Wonder if the IP/Patent is sufficiently different to the intention of the IR camera in the red Switch remote - isn’t that intended for light gun type stuff?
