I read about this and it looked interesting. It's just a motion sensor attached to the gun?

I saw a video of a homemade laser target. Seems doable if you have some basic electronic skills. Plz post when you finish.

The basic app that I show in my photo is free. They have two paid upgrades as well.
I've also since found 2 pc free programs that I've downloaded but not had a chance to test out yet.

i think this works by having the camera detect the laser or color. maybe camera takes picture on every detection and overlays them. probably just a programming trick, similar to how phone can measure stuff. pretty cool.

I've continued to play around with the Laserlyte and have determined that while the iTarget app from post #12 is OK it's not really great for what I'm trying to do which is HighPower match practice. Three problems the target overlay does not scale properly to the NRA SR target and it's very sensitive to false hits. That may be something specific to the lighting in my setup. Finally I had scaled my target wrong in the example above the actual SR 200 yd target is 37" dia which scales to about 3.5" at 45ft. So the target was just too small on the screen to register accurate hits.
I did find try out a totally free opensource PC program called Shootoff. It seems to be very flexible and has some great features like using a video projector to create realistic practice scenes. Check out the site for more info. https://github.com/phrack/ShootOFF/wiki
Here is my test setup. Old laptop with a USB webcam. Setup about 5ft in front of the scaled target. You can then make a scoring template to match the actual target scoring rings. The software allows you to correct for camera perspective too. It seems like it may be a reasonably good training aid at least to develop some muscle memory and match timing.
I would still like to call my shots and have instant feedback on where my shot landed so I'm going to either add a 15m usb extension cord or try to use some display app like slaptop or remote desktop to view remotely.
