Abstract (en)

A hand-held space aged type device emitting an infrared beam and a target/helmet which detects the beam and indicates the total number of such detections is described. The hand held device is in the shape of a hand gun and includes a two stage trigger. When the trigger is partially pulled back, a light illuminates the sight on the gun. When the trigger is wholly pulled back, an infrared beam is emitted from the barrel of the gun and a visible light flash is emitted in the direction the gun is aimed. The helmet/target includes an infrared detector with a 360 degree field of vision. Upon detecting a hit (positive detection of the infrared beam) in LED display mounted on the helmet is incremented by one. In the preferred embodiment, the helmet includes speakers emitting a heart beat like sound which increases in pulse, as if indicating increased stress, each time a hit is detected.
