We are determined to bring back gaming in its true avatar by amalgamating the concept of outdoor gaming with gesture-control technology," Rajat Dhariwal, Co-Founder and CEO of SuperSuit , said in a statement.

'SuperSuit' comprises two units - a vest and glove. The laser tags on the gaming gear works with gesture control technology.
