- Description
- An interactive darts system kit. The electronic dart game system is designed for fixed installation in commercial, hospitality and entertainment venues and is not intended for domestic recreational use. The interactive system includes an electronic dartboard fitted with integrated electronic sensors, electronics, and a commercial-grade touchscreen control console containing the game software, connectivity components, visual mounting frame, cabling, and console enclosure. The system does not include a display screen as the user connects their own display monitor. The dartboard contains built-in electronic sensors that automatically detects the precise location of the darts thrown at the board. The systems operate alongside proprietary software which manages venue-level data via a cloud-based platform. The data is transmitted to the touchscreen control console containing the game software. The software automatically calculates scores according to the selected game rules and displays the results as visual graphics and animations on an external display supplied by the end user. The dart system is composed primarily of sisal fibre, metal, plastic, and electronic components. The dartboard face is made from compressed sisal with a metal segment ring and integrated electronic sensors. The control console and enclosures are constructed from plastic and metal housings containing printed circuit boards, processors, and touch display components. The system operates from a standard 100–240 V AC mains supply (50/60 Hz) via external AC-to-DC power adaptors. The dartboard assembly measures approximately 45 cm in diameter and 6 cm deep. The touchscreen control console measures approximately 30 cm × 25 cm × 10 cm. Comes with a set of steel tip darts and user manual. Optional accessories include, lighting surround, digital camera and wall frame. The system is not operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or by any other means of payment.
