A tag confirmation system, preferably used in Laser tag or skirmish or paintball systems, or other activity involving the interaction between participants, comprises a directed infra-red emitter 3 used to shoot at other players and preferably a laser 4 to give a visual indication of a shot being fired. It also comprises a global infra-red emitter array 7 to transmit a message to all other participants in range when a "hit" is detected by the infra-red receivers 5. This message is preferably encoded to enable the other participants to identify which participant fired the infra-red beam and which participant was "hit". A visual or aural confirmation relating to the identity of both the player who fired the shot and the player that was hit can be given via an LCD screen 1 or loudspeaker 2, and may be used in a scoring system. The global infra-red emitter array 7 broadcasts an infra-red signal over a wide spatial angle to all players in the area. |
