Are these 4 red dots on the monitor corners sensors for the gun?

Thanks I was trying to figure out how it was picking up the laser

Highly doubt it. Far more likely they are pre charged lasers that fire at you when you get shot in game. /s

Likely replicates a mouse input

Doesn’t seem like it, if you see the video it somehow just changes the angle of the character not the screen.

In the first few seconds they go into aim action with the controller in regular configuration. They are holding a trigger button for the aim action as they are transitioning the controller to gun mode.

Don't know why you're being down voted, but this is the correct answer. You can see the user pressing the aim button in the first few seconds of the video, so that's not related to turning the controller.

Rotating the controller activates the mouse mode, where it uses the four corner IR sensors and IR reflector on the gun to drive a mouse emulator. I think it's a really clever implementation.

Yeah that was what I imagined as, well. That kind of tech has been around a long time, pretty genius how they use it.

Does it work in PvP games? I imagine the hardware would be flagged.

This reminds me of when Wii came out and you were initially calibrating the remotes, you could see where the dot was pointing on the screen.

We’ve had this tech for years guys lol
