Laser Shot System

These are general instructions for how to turn on and use the laser Shot firing game

Proper conditions

You should generally have these conditions while playing the game:

  • DO NOT move the camera. (temporarily on the tripod) Otherwise your calibration will be off.
  • The lights in the room should be that the front light array near the projector should be OFF, and the back light array should be ON. If you are safe, it might work better if all lights are off. Feel free to use a small dim desk lamp.

Turn on System

  • Turn on the projector. (power button is on the top, the left circular button
  • Turn on the computer. Access user “Ashley” Password is on a sticky on the computer
  • The tracking software should all be running automatically.
  • Choose a game you want to play, icons are on desktop. Such as “shooters Challenge”
  • You can now use on the functioning guns.

Sound

  • The sound is piped though the room stero system. The system control is in the closet next to the projector.
  • Be sure the system is on and says for input “CD” (the button is the second from the right of all the inputs)
  • You can adjust the volume from the main audio control, OR from the computer sound levels

About the Guns

You should see the red laser as you fire the gun. Currently Only one gun is working, that is the rifle. We have yet to figure out how to add batteries to the other guns, but they look like they mostly take AA batteries

Calibration

If you are having issue with alignment or multiple firing. You may need to change some of the calibration options. Also, this is what you do when changing the position of the camera.

  • Start up the full system as indicated above.
  • Move your mouse to the lower right corner where the firearms interface is, in the taskbar. It is a gray/camo target.
  • Right click
  • Choose “Launch GUI

You will have an abundant of options here. All options will guide you through the steps for better alignment.

  • At the top are 2 Icons, A home Icon, and a laser Icon
  • Home Icon aka Main Setup:
  • Launch Tracking will enable the tracking software that controls the camera sensor. This should always be on
  • Rapid realignment and Lighting Adjustment is good for if you change the lighting in the room
  • Laser Icon
  • Projector Alignment, Adjust camera, and Focus Cameras are good if you move the camera.
  • Auto Calibration should generally not be used as going through the three calibration settings will make it more accurate
  • Light Regulation is good for when changing the lights

Instalation of Additional games

You can always install more of the games by inserting the disk and following the instructions on the screen. All games use “tracking” from the LS firearms interface, which runs in the background. If a game does not work properly after installation, please contact Hstar for further assistance.

Troubshooting

  • If you can not see the image in the projector, you may need to change the input. Just press the right circle button on the top of the projector to cycle through input
  • Make sure “Tracking” is checked on when right Clicking the LS firearms interface in the bottom right task bar.
  • Any issues you have with miss alignment or improper shooting should be addressed by re calibration. Instructions are above.
  • Be sure yo can see the red laser light on the projector as you fire. The gun may need batteries if not
