Omni Auto Scoring Brings Automated Precision to Home Darts

WIRED tests the Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System, a four‑camera ring that clips onto most boards and wires to Wi‑Fi, pairing with the DartCounter app to deliver automatic scorekeeping, an announcer, comprehensive stats, and online multiplayer. It’s pricey (roughly $650–$1,000 with extras), requires strong Internet (Target suggests 30 Mbps) and a subscription for full features, and while highly accurate overall it can miscount or miss bounce-outs occasionally. Still, for serious darts fans it offers a compelling, convenient upgrade that enhances online play and practice, though connectivity and firmware quirks can crop up.
