Problem
Traditional dart games require physical darts and a safe throwing environment, limiting practice opportunities in confined spaces and creating safety concerns in shared or public areas.
Solution
Flightless offers a hybrid dart simulation system that replicates the mechanics of throwing darts without any physical projectiles. The platform combines sensing hardware, embedded electronics, and software to capture a player's motion and compute realistic dart trajectories in real time. Users receive immediate visual and haptic feedback on a digital display, allowing them to practice, compete, and track performance without the risk of stray darts. The system can be deployed in venues such as bars, offices, schools, or homes where traditional dart setups are impractical.
Target Audience
Primary customers are entertainment venues, corporate wellness programs, and individual enthusiasts who want a safe, space‑efficient dart experience.
