> With Overwatch, players will be able to attach their iPhones to their paintball or airsoft guns and then track the real-time movement of other players on the battlefield

Seems like it could be an expensive game of paintball if you're putting your phone at risk of getting annihilated. Are they planning on making their own components eventually or are they set on the "app" status of it?

Pretty cool idea though.




We are currently in version 2 of our rail mount prototype and will be selling both rail mounts and personal armband mounts as part of the Overwatch product line. In response to your concern about device safety, our hardware mounts will support the use of highly-protective cases like Otterboxes, Lifeproof cases, etc.


One of those burly OtterBox cases would nullify that risk pretty completely, I think.
