Axe Throwing Sport and Entertainment Venue

This client operates entertainment venues for axe throwing and escape rooms. Open to amateurs and serious professionals, the client wants to enhance the experience to the gaming and social media savvy players.

They engaged TIU to digitally transform this physical world throwing sport into a new digital world experience.

Project Goals

The goal of this project was to develop a scalable solution that provides the XR experience that immerses the player into a multilevel and multiplayer gaming experience using the player's own axe, stars or knives.

The client wanted a natural response time to actionable target strikes and games that interact with successful, as well as missed, target throws.

A library of games that offer static or animated 3D play offers endless entertainment.

Project Results

TIU utilized DevSecOps to develop a secure and robust cloud-based system and using custom AI and algorithms to exceed the client’s expectations. Combined with a projector and intelligent cameras the thrown weapons are recognized within a very high location accuracy. Apps are now being added for remote user lane reservations and social media sharing of the game play.

Game categories and themes are being designed to appeal to a variety of skill and user interests.
