Hi everyone, and welcome back from CES to all those who attended.
Last week’s international Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015 might have been filled with the latest selfie-sticks and 3D printed food. But for gamers and technophiles the debut of LyteShot (now live on Kickstarter) made a huge splash with the media, tech, and business community, garnering excitement, critical acclaim, and a prominent award.
GAMEPLAY VIDEO: The LyteShot team issued a gameplay video highlighting augmented reality using the Epson Moverio BT-200 smart glasses, 3D printed peripherals (swords, daggers, guns), and two upcoming games in action. If you missed the video, please get it HERE: www.lyteshot.com.
CES AWARD: The response from media, attendees, and judges was overwhelmingly positive, culminating in LyteShot being awarded the prestigious CES 2015 Innovation Design Award in the Gaming Hardware & Accessories category.
TECHCRUNCH HARDWARE BATTLEFIELD: LyteShot pitched and was accepted into this year’s prestigious TechCrunch Hardware Battlefield event held live at CES 2015. TechCrunch’s Hardware Battlefield pits hand-picked start-ups whose fresh and innovative ideas reflect the demands of a tech-driven consumer society. See the TechCrunch preview HERE.
ACCOLADES: Here are what a few key game and tech sites have said after seeing LyteShot up close and personal.
- “…what LyteShot is doing with the sport of kings (laser tag’s the sport of kings, right?) is pretty mind-blowing.” – IGN
- “Starting with the gun and puck as a base, the company hopes to build an open platform on which hobbyists and pro developers can build their own gadgets and games.” – TechCrunch
- “…it’s got a ton of major implications for mobile games, and in particularly those who love the idea of making it a more social activity. LARPers would certainly eat this up.” – Game ‘N Guide
