Abstract
The present application describes liquid release of fluid, preferably water, onto the head or heads of a player or players of an electronic interactive game, which may incorporate virtual reality, mixed reality or augmented reality. In most embodiments, the gameset includes headgear that includes a liquid reservoir for dispensing a liquid on a player. The gameset may also include an electronic display to visually present imagery to the player, and a receiver that transmits a signal to a receiver coupled to the headgear to dispense liquid from the liquid reservoir onto a player.

A gameset configured to emit a liquid onto a player comprising:
- headgear configured to be worn on a head of a player and comprising a liquid reservoir configured to hold a liquid and a valve controlled by a solenoid or by a motor;
- a receiver coupled to the headgear;
- an electronic display screen to display imagery to said player;
- a transmitter to transmit a signal to the receiver;
- and
- one or more power sources configured to power the transmitter, the electronic display screen and the receiver, wherein, upon reception of the signal from the transmitter, the receiver is configured to activate dispensing of liquid from the liquid reservoir onto the player.
A method of play involving one or more players comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a gameset configured to emit a liquid onto a player, the gameset comprising:
- i) headgear configured to be worn on a head of a player and comprising a liquid reservoir configured to hold a liquid and a valve;
- ii) a receiver coupled to the headgear;
- iii) an electronic display screen to display imagery to said player;
- iv) a transmitter to transmit a signal to the receiver;
- and
- v) one or more power sources configured to power the transmitter, the electronic display screen and the receiver,
- wherein, upon reception of the signal from the transmitter, the receiver is configured to activate dispensing of liquid from the liquid reservoir onto the player;
- b) placing the headgear on a player's head;
- c) displaying imagery on the electronic display screen;
- d) transmitting a signal to the receiver;
- and
- e) opening the valve and dispensing liquid downward from the liquid reservoir onto the player wearing the headgear in response to the receiver coupled to such player receiving the signal, said dispensing aided and not hindered by gravity.
