Gaming systems and methods using optical narrowcasting

摘要

Use of optical narrowcasting for gaming systems and methods are provided. An optical shooting device may comprise an optical transmitter assembly and a first RF transceiver. The optical shooting device may determine shooting information and transmit an optical beam carrying the shooting information using the optical transmitter assembly. An optical target device may comprise an optical receiver assembly and a second RF transceiver. The optical receiver assembly may receive the optical beam using the optical receiver assembly. The optical target device may extract the information from the optical beam. A game control device may comprise a third RF transceiver. The game control device may communicate with the optical shooting device or the optical target device using the third RF transceiver to transmit or receive information relating to a shooting game, and activate a game event based on the information relating to the shooting game.
