The Laser Target Gallery is an arcade style game using a laser gun and a board with several targets on it. In a timeframe of 30 seconds, the player will shoot an indicated target on the board, where a microcontroller will score points based on the accuracy of the shot. The targets are made up of four photoresistors in a small chamber behind a green light filter. The laser gun itself houses a frequency doubled green laser diode, the fire rate being controlled by a microcontroller in the gun. Along with that the users calculated score is displayed on a mobile application, with record saving capabilities.
