Abstract
A light projection tag game requires the overlap of player projected images on a gaming surface. Each player is provided with an optical transceiver which has a receiver with a narrow field of view that is geometrically coincident with the light beam projected from the transceiver. Each player's transceiver can detect when an opponent's image which is also projected on the gaming surface enters this field of view thereby achieving a tag. Receiver methods use either signal transients or infrared modulation. Various embodiments include automatic targets, automatic game control and projected gaming mazes.
