Design and Implementation of a Low-Cost Dual-Structure Laser Shooting System with Physical and Web-Based Targets for School Physical Education

Shooting activities offer educational and recreational value; however, their application in school physical education and recreational settings remains limited due to safety concerns, high costs, and restricted access to specialized facilities and equipment. To address these constraints, this study designed and implemented a low-cost laser shooting system suitable for school physical education and recreational use. The proposed system comprises a laser-gun module, a physical electronic target providing immediate on-site feedback using an illuminance sensor, a Fresnel lens, and RGB LEDs, and a web-based electronic target that enables real-time scoring, logging, and visualization via smartphone or tablet cameras and browser-based processing. By adopting a low-power, projectile-free laser structure with pulse-limited emission, the system enhances operational safety, while the use of general-purpose components and web standards reduces cost and lowers barriers to adoption. Technical verification conducted under controlled indoor conditions demonstrated stable single-shot operation, reliable hit detection, and accurate score calculation for both the physical and web-based targets. Expert validation involving specialists in physical education, educational technology, and sports technology yielded consistently high evaluations across safety, cost efficiency, functional completeness, and field applicability. These findings suggest that the proposed system represents a practical and scalable alternative for school physical education classes and recreational programs. Future research should examine user-level usability, learning outcomes, system robustness under diverse environmental conditions, and structured expert consensus processes.
