Augmented reality darts, often referred to as AR darts, is a modern take on the classic game of darts. At Hackers in Billericay, we’ve taken the traditional game and given it a high-tech upgrade. Using smart technology, digital projections, and automatic scoring, augmented reality darts creates an immersive experience that’s perfect for both beginners and experienced players.
While old-school darts relies on pen, paper, and a fair bit of guesswork, AR darts brings the game to life with vibrant visuals, on-screen targets, and even custom player avatars. It’s part video game, part social activity, and it’s fast becoming one of the most popular things to do at Hackers.
How Does AR Darts Work?
Our interactive setup uses a standard dartboard paired with sensors, cameras, and a screen that projects game visuals in real time. Each throw is tracked automatically, meaning the system keeps score for you while offering a range of game modes.
You can play everything from classic 501 to modern mini-games, and even tailor your profile with nicknames, emojis, and personal photos. It’s fun, engaging, and removes any arguments about scoring.
The setup is perfect for groups of friends, work socials, or even a fun-filled family afternoon. It’s suitable for players aged 14 and over, though under 18s will need to be accompanied by a playing adult.
