Problem
Cricket fans lack affordable, immersive gaming experiences that combine realistic physical feedback with 360° virtual environments, forcing them to rely on traditional consoles or low‑fidelity mobile games that do not replicate the feel of a real bat swing.
Solution
MetaShot delivers a mixed‑reality cricket platform built around a Bluetooth‑enabled smart bat that embeds LED illumination and vibration haptics to convey shot quality in real time. The bat pairs with a companion mobile app that runs a physics‑driven simulation and streams the rendered scene to any MHL‑compatible TV via an included connector, creating a console‑like experience without a dedicated gaming console. Players can join online matches, compete in skill‑based leaderboards, and sync gameplay data across devices, enabling social play with friends anywhere. The system leverages low‑energy BLE for reliable low‑latency communication and supports OTA firmware updates to improve sensor calibration and game content.
Target Audience
The primary customers are cricket enthusiasts and casual gamers seeking an at‑home immersive experience, as well as sports bars and community gaming venues that want a low‑cost, plug‑and‑play cricket simulation solution.
