Hi Kes: Can't remember seeing any demos, except maybe at a concert years ago. Those things are fascinating and I would enjoy seeing them at another show of some type. Might even drive to a casino in world-famous Tunica! Took my son there to sit in front of Buzz Aldrin-what an outstanding speaker and gentleman.
Are the 'private' versions just bigger versions of what we used in "laser tag", which I played a few times when my son was younger? Whatever they are, that game is really a blast in a dark room with many obstacles to hide behind, with such a tiny red beam to activate your opponent's dectectors across a large space.
Pardon my sarcasm earlier (that's all it was), but maybe many of us at Pprune have only focused on the negative aspects of this industry (which most don't understand), and we pilots can't afford any serious injuries to eyes, ears, fingers, feet etc, on or off the job-we all know about passenger/crew safety being paramount. And our careers do not transfer to other jobs. Although such possibilities of permanent injury are rare, any random factors which can end a career is something which pilots jump on with both feet-maybe people overreact a bit. I enjoyed your info on previous pages and if all of this is somehow kept in context maybe we can all become better informed (open-minded) and learn some things.
