Mixing my ESP-Now mesh, ESPUI and physical objects in a LARP experience

As I've mentioned before, all the stuff I work on tends to be to make props for Live Action Role Playing (LARP) events. LARP comes in many flavours but the variant I'm involved in has people solving problems and fighting skirmishes with Lasertag weapons as part of a collaborative story, usually with a science fiction element.

With the arrival of the pandemic, almost all LARP except that which was conducted via video chat went on hiatus, including a game we'd been planning for a couple of years.

However things kicked off again for us on the weekend of 3-5 September 2021 with an 'anthology event' that consisted of several short games. After a chat with one of the game organisers I agreed to set up some stuff to round their Cyberpunk themed game out.

We play on exclusively outdoor sites, almost always with no access to mains power or permanent Internet service so everything needs to be self-sufficient for the duration of the game. Also with only a couple of hours of setup time available it needed to go out quick and dirty right beforehand.

I put together several elements that got included in the game, spread across three different locations on the site.
