This seems like a very cool concept, will definitely need Android support too though. I hope they hit their target but looks like they still have a way to go.
Be nice if some of that extra space could be dedicated to an additional battery slice to charge your phone through USB - I imagine this will use a lot of battery to track your movements while overlaying the game elements....
Love the idea though - would make a nice modern take on laser-quest type leaisure activities. Could see people having great fun running round heavily wooded areas shooting each other in the back
Sadly not the first. The Siemens SX1 phone did this with a mosquito game back in 2004.
I've had a similar product as a gift, and basically it was all but useless due to poor software support (the associated app ran for about 20 seconds at a time). I suspect that an Android version will be a long time coming due to the wide variety of options that need to be supported.

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
I'm surprised they went for iPhone only on this. Most of my fellow FPS gamers are PC enthusiasts - and certainly the vast majority of my real life FPS gaming friends share at least a portion of my absolute hatred for the rotten Apple for their overpriced/underpowered hardware.
Otherwise, if done right it could be amazing. As others have mentioned here, though, there are big pitfalls to avoid here!
