How long has it been since you hit the bullseye with sharp-pointed darts? Whenever I think of it, I imagine a circular dartboard and my friends throwing darts. But, what if there’s an electronic device that blends traditional games with modern technologies? Pixeldarts does this for you.

After successfully carrying out the campaigns of the Chessnut Air and the Chessnut Evo the extraordinary team is utilizing their advanced identity and position recognition technology to put forth Pixeldarts. Essentially, Pixeldarts is a retro-themed digital throwing board, with advanced recognition and expansion with programmable games/widgets.

Pixeldarts comes with Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with 512MB SDRAM, allowing you to generate pixel art using ChatGPT. The unique recognition technology is compatible with soft darts and Nerf Gun Bullets with built-in chips.

It boasts an open ecosystem where users can design their own games and widgets, and even share their creations with the community. From the visuals, it appears that the creation mechanism is very similar to the drag-and-drop tool.

The minutely crafted display offers an immersive resolution for finer visuals. Meanwhile, the dual screen enriches the gaming and display experience for wider content.

On taking expandable applications, Pixeldarts does more than just capture darts. Pixeldarts allows you to write messages with a pen, acting as a noticeboard. Also, it plays music and showcases animations, making it a showpiece.

Additionally, Pixeldarts displays real-time weather, finance, and sports updates.

As of now, we don’t have additional info, visuals, and pricing for Pixeldarts. The product is still in development and Chessnut is expected to launch it in November.
