    Hello, I've recently had a query about creating a "light-gun" experience for a public setting. The project is slightly more complicated than usual because it uses 3 projection screens simultaneously as a display. These surround the user, and the user needs to be able to aim and shoot at any of these screens to score points.

    I'm looking for suggestions on how best to achieve this setup, and I've considered both off-the-shelf light guns and other options such as a wii controller or VR controller built into a 3D printed gun. I wondered whether anyone here has experience doing something similar, or could provide any suggestions on the best route to go down?

    The important things are the 3 screens, accuracy, and durability in a public setting.

    Connect an Arduino with Unity and hook it up to an accelerometer. That will allow Unity to track the position of where your gun is pointing.
