Light Trap is an MR (Mixed-Reality) full-body interactive challenge game designed for Pico devices. Wearing an MR headset, players move through a real-world space and use natural body movements—such as ducking, leaning, stepping sideways, and reaching—to avoid virtual laser obstacles overlaid onto their physical surroundings while collecting energy orbs. Each level consists of four compact out-andback sections, featuring a fast-paced countdown system in which the start and finish points alternate. Players must move back and forth through the course to complete the collection objective before time runs out. Touching any laser results in an immediate failure, while the exit remains locked until every energy orb has been collected.
