US12504259 - Open field game arrangement comprising responsive targets

An open field game arrangement comprising a playing field including one or more unmanned vehicles that serve as ground or air targets, one or more display projectors that generate holographic targets, and a control system that determines whether a particular target was struck and generates one or more responses, such as a sound effect, a smoke effect, a scoring event, or other preprogrammed responses to a particular event.

The patent describes an open field game arrangement featuring unmanned vehicles and holographic targets that interact with projectiles to determine hit or miss outcomes. A control system establishes detection fields and triggers various responses, such as sound or smoke effects, based on the projectile’s interaction with the targets.

Claim 1

1 . An open field game arrangement comprising a playing field, a launch area, and at least one control system; the playing field comprising one or more display projectors, each of the one or more display projectors configured to project one or more two- or three-dimension virtual images about the open field game arrangement; the at least one control system configured to establish one or more detection fields, with at least one of the one or more detection fields being in association with each of the one or more two- or three-dimension virtual images; and the at least one control system configured to detect when a projectile enters one of the one or more detection fields to trigger a proximity event that determines a hit or miss outcome of the projectile and to respond to the hit or miss outcome with a response comprising a light effect, a sound effect, a smoke effect, or any combination thereof. the playing field comprising one or more display projectors, each of the one or more display projectors configured to project one or more two- or three-dimension virtual images about the open field game arrangement; the at least one control system configured to establish one or more detection fields, with at least one of the one or more detection fields being in association with each of the one or more two- or three-dimension virtual images; and the at least one control system configured to detect when a projectile enters one of the one or more detection fields to trigger a proximity event that determines a hit or miss outcome of the projectile and to respond to the hit or miss outcome with a response comprising a light effect, a sound effect, a smoke effect, or any combination thereof.
