๐ Project Kickoff | Custom FSR Vests for Gel Blaster Fun ๐ฏ
Weโve just started an exciting new project with a client who runs a Gel Blaster arena โ where players battle it out using toy blasters that shoot gel balls. Our mission? Create custom smart vests powered by FSR (Force Sensing Resistor) sensors to make the game even more immersive.
๐น How It Works
When a gel ball hits the vest, the FSR sensor detects the impact and the LED light instantly switches from blue ๐ต to red ๐ด, signaling a hit!
The vests will feature sensors on both front and back:
๐ Adult Vest: 30cm ร 30cm per side
๐ Child Vest: 20cm ร 20cm per side
๐น Vest Features
โFSR sensors for accurate hit detection
โColor-changing LED lights (blue โ red)
โRechargeable battery ๐ for continuous play
โSmart PCB to control LED reset timing (5 / 3 / 2 minutes)
Weโre excited to bring this playful idea to life โ combining tech + fun for a next-level Gel Blaster experience ๐. Stay tuned as we move into testing and development!
