LyteShot is an interactive augmented reality gaming platform that uses augmented reality with mobile phones and augmented reality smartglasses for interactive gameplay. The platform integrates sensor-based hardware which wirelessly connects to users’ mobile devices and with the Internet of Things (IoT) to share in-game data via the cloud. The platform's sensor-based peripherals connect with mobile phones to bring multi-player digital alternate reality game or first-person shooter gameplay into the real world which adds digital components to live-action games.

LyteShot platform consists of three core components to the system: a handheld device, called a "Lyter"; a receiver, called a "LytePuck", worn by each player; and LyteShot-enabled game applications on users' Bluetooth SMART-enabled smartphones operating on either iOS or Android. The Lyter, LytePuck, and mobile smartphone game apps connect to the cloud via Bluetooth enabling transmission of game data for types of live action role-playing games, thus eliminating the need for referees or gamekeepers. Various peripherals, representing weapons and/or tools such as a gun or a sword, have also been developed to attach to the "Lyter" while gaming, and users can also create their own attachments through design and 3D printing.

LyteShot's first game release is Assassin: The Game, a first-person shooter based on the live action game of the same name. Developers can utilize the platforms software developer kit (SDK) allowing independent users to develop their own games for use with LyteShot's hardware and mobile technology.

LyteShot was named as a Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovation Design Award honoree in the Gaming Hardware and Accessories category. In addition, LLteShot received Game Connections's international award for Most Original/ Creative Project as well as the Auggie Award from Augmented World Expo (AWE) for Best Game. LyteShot debuted the platform at CES 2015 with Epson as a featured developer for the Epson Moverio BT-200 Smartglasses.
