Abstract
A video game system can include a console, a camera and a light targeting peripheral (LTP), where the LPT can direct non-visible light (e.g., infrared (IR) light) onto a display screen. The camera is positioned so that is can view the display screen, and can locate a non-visible light dot on the display screen during video game play. The system can be used with any size or type of electronic display (e.g., any type of television, computer screen, etc.), or any type of non-electronic display (e.g., projector screen) on which the video game can be projected. The LTP has one or more sensors that sense when an accessory is attached thereto and to communicate a signal to the video game console of said attachment to adjust a parameter of the video game operated by the video game console.
