An essential part of the LaserTag game is the LaserTag target. This device is responsible for registering the hits of the laser tag phasers and giving points to the players. It consists of a circuit board with sensors that use infrared technology to detect the tags. Targets are typically part of the playing field in laser tag arenas and are designed to keep players moving rather than just "camping" in one place. Targets can be stationary or moveable to provide different levels of difficulty and challenges. In laser tag games, targets usually give more points than tagging opponents, which provides additional motivation for players.
