Show HN: I built a VR laser tag course you can run around in

Looks like a lot of fun! I went to a co-located VR space for a friend's birthday party once that had wireless backpacks / VR guns and it was a great time.

The place we went shut down (I'm assuming around the pandemic) but had extremely high reviews and people raving about it. Could be a good time to get some funding and start up a new chain.

I recommend thinking about what you can do that would significantly differentiate the gameplay from what is possible irl. Just putting laser tag in VR is a downgrade in many aspects from what you can achieve in reality, so you need a lot of gameplay innovation to make it a compelling proposition. One small example of where just copying things from real life falls short: Your proof of concept show walls (because that's what laser tag does to create compelling gameplay) but walls are a mediocre choice in a colocated VR game because the actual behavior (users can always walk through them in VR) defies the user's built in expectations about what it means for something to be a "wall".
