Lazer tag has come a long way since the days of cheaply-made body armor and less than realiable infrared guns. Now, Nerf has upgraded their Lazer Tag system to include augmented reality to make blasting your friends and opponents even more fun.

Spotted on Engadget , the new guns feature a slot to load your iPhone or iPod Touch that, when paired with the appropriate app, displays a HUD that provides your power level, leaderboard progress, equipped gear, and even the trajectory of your shots. Continued sessions will grant you better loot to expand your arsenal of gear and attack types.If you don't have a friendly body nearby, the app will allow you to go rounds with virtual enemies.Nerf's new Lazer Tag system will be available starting August 1. Individual guns will set you back $40, picking up a pair will cost $70.
