Description
Sinden Lightgun
The Sinden Lightgun is the world’s first true LCD compatible Light gun, providing all the functionality and game experience of the original CRT Light guns without requiring additional hardware such as infra red sensor bars. It does not require constant re-calibration and remains perfectly accurate even if you change position or angle.
This is the recoil model which contains a chunky solenoid to give a great recoil feedback when playing. The recoil model has an innovative circuit that allows it to be powered only by the computer USB and does not need external power but still able to give a powerful kick.
It is always accurate even if you change position or angle which means you can ditch the crosshairs!
The Sinden Lightgun communicates by controlling your mouse cursor which ensures compatibility with nearly all Windows and Linux applications that can use a mouse including (but not limited to):
Mame, Demul, M2 Emulator, Supermodel, FCEUX, MEDNAFEN, PCSXR, PCSX2, Dolphin, ZSNES, RetroPie, RetroArch, TeknoParrot and other standalone PC Arcade Dumps, PC games such as House Of The Dead 2/3/Overkill and Blue Estate.
This means it’s possible to play all your favourite Light gun games such as:
Duck Hunt
Time Crisis 1/2/3
Virtua Cop 1/2/3
House Of The Dead 1/2/3/4/Overkill
Point Blank 1/2/3
Terminator 2 Arcade
Star Wars Trilogy
Jurassic Park: Lost World
Mad Dog McCree
Battle Clash
Wild Gunman
And many many more.
The Sinden Lightgun calculates where you are pointing on the screen over 50 times a second and provides a complete end to end calculation in less than 20ms. As it remains completely accurate no matter how long you play or if you move positions you can turn off your crosshairs and enjoy a completely authentic Light gun experience.
How does it work?
The Sinden Lightgun software adds a thin border around your television display. The hardware is an optical based system which uses this border to visually calculate the aiming position.
The Sinden Lightgun can also calculate the angle you are pointing at the television and also your relative distance which hopefully in the future can open up new gaming concepts and interactions.
