Laser tag is a sport loosely related to the original game of tag. While seen by some as having more relation to the sport of paintball, laser tag differs mainly in the technology used, rather than just the environment it is played in. Indoor, or Arena style laser tag usually features less realistic environments such as mazes, different modes of gameplay, and is often accompanied by music and theatrical fog. Outdoor laser tag is also a popular way to play, with players using parks or wooded areas, or even going to commercially run outdoor laser tag fields. Similar to paintball, there are styles of play that lean heavily toward full military simulations, and other types that are quick firefights to determine the best player on a small field. This variation means that there's a style of laser tag that can appeal to almost anyone, from MILSIM enthusiasts, to sci-fi LARP players, to kids just having fun.
In 1980, the United States Army developed and deployed a system using infrared beams for combat training. The MILES system functions like laser tag in that beams are "fired" into receivers that score hits. Similar systems are now manufactured by several companies and used by various armed forces around the world.
