LyteShot is an interactive augmented reality gaming platform that uses augmented reality with mobile phones and smartglasses for interactive gameplay. The platform integrates sensor-based hardware which wirelessly connects to users’ mobile devices and with the Internet of Things (IoT) to share in-game data via the cloud. The platform's sensor-based peripherals that work with mobile phones to bring multi-player digital alternate reality game or first-person shooter game play into the real world or adding an electronic element to live-action games. There are three core components to the system: a handheld device, called a "Lyter";〔 a receiver, called a "LytePuck",〔〔 worn by each player; and LyteShot-enabled game applications on users' Bluetooth SMART-enabled smartphones operating on either iOS or Android.〔 The Lyter, LytePuck, and smartphone apps connect through the cloud via Bluetooth to transmit game data for various online games or live action role-playing games, thus eliminating the need for referees or gamekeepers.〔〔 Various peripherals, representing weapons and/or tools such as a gun or a sword, have also been developed to attach to the "Lyter" while gaming,〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What We do - Fruition8 )〕 and users can also create their own attachments through 3D printing.〔〔 LyteShot's first game release is ''Assassin: The Game'', a first-person shooter based on the live action game of the same name.〔〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Assassin: The Game )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Assassin: The Game on the App Store on iTunes )〕 The platform code is open source, so independent users can develop their own games designed to use LyteShot hardware and technology.〔〔〔〔〔 LyteShot Lyter and LytePuck sets are scheduled to begin shipping in August and September 2015.
