The HomeLESS is a nifty project that encompasses a number of open source software applications and open source hardware designs which facilitate dry fire practice at home using lasers. The interactive capabilities of the software is VERY impressive. Just watch the below video to see what you can do with it …

To use the HomeLESS software you need a PC, it is Windows, Mac and Linux compatible, along with a cheap webcam. Any commercial laser dry firing device, such as the devices manufactured by LaserLyte and Laser Ammo, will work, but if you don’t have one and want to save money you can build your own laser target pistol by following the instructions published on their website.

The electronics, costing only a few dollars on eBay.

Installing the electronics into a cheap airsoft MP5 clone

I am looking forward to seeing how it continues to be developed. If you are a computer programer and want to contribute to the project, the code is hosted on GitHub.
