So I’ve thought about this a bit more. Games like this flash the screen black with a white square on the target, and then detects whether the lightgun is pointing at white or black. I guess they could take a picture of the TV and combine that with sensor data, put it into an AI and then figure out where on the screen the gun is pointed at? I guess that would count as “AI”?

I’m sure the diehard lightgun fans won’t find it accurate enough though.
