Game apparatus where darts are thrown into a projected video game image and software conducts the game progress by locating the darts with digital cameras

Abstract

This invention describes an electronic amusement game where sensors locate the position of darts thrown by participants into a target board. The target board is not a traditional dart board but an uncolored dart board onto which is projected game images by a front projection monitor. The game locates the darts through the use of digital cameras that capture 2 dimensional images of the dart's profile to establish coordinates. The software conducts game progress by incorporating the thrown dart's position into the game itself. Any manner of game can be projected, including traditional dart games.
