Virtual darts, or augmented darts as some call them, are yet another way in which modern state-of-the-art technology is combined with what is otherwise a simple game and turned into a fun activity that people love to participate in. It works by displaying a real dart board but instead of throwing a dart with a metal point and then going up to the board to see what you have scored, you throw a virtual dart, and the system displays your score.
What this has created is an additional way in which sports and leisure centres can enhance how their patrons can enjoy themselves. This includes families, friends, and even corporate bonding events. Regardless of who or why it is being played, virtual darts have several awesome features, and here are seven of the best ones.
#1 – Multiple Game Options
The first awesome feature of virtual darts is that it has a versatile array of different games that can be played. These games will differ depending on what venue you are playing but wherever that is, it makes it far more interesting than having to play to normal darts rules. The variety of games is likely to be increasing as virtual darts become even more popular.
#2 – Enhanced Scoring Accuracy
A huge difference between virtual darts and real darts is that with virtual darts you do not have to have someone standing next to the board and calling out each score. Virtual darts track the dart being thrown and where it lands and will immediately display the score which ensures that every game is fair and not subject to human error when counting.
#3 – Easy To Play
With real darts, even in the social surrounding, some players can feel intimidated by the fact that they are not great at darts and may even be put off playing. With virtual darts, the game is easy to play and can feel more like a computer game that most people have played, even if they have never played darts before.
#4 – Portability
In the versions of virtual darts that are played using game consoles rather than at a virtual darts venue, they can be played just about anywhere. So, families on holiday, or professional’s business trips, can set up the game and play, including practising so they are improved players when they next play at their favourite virtual darts venue.
#5 – Customisable Games
Again, the variations in this will depend on which virtual darts venue you are playing at. However, most of the available games will have a degree of customisation to make them accessible to everyone. For example, you will be able to alter the level of difficulty so that even if everyone is playing for the first time, they all have a chance of scoring well and winning.
#6 – An Excellent Social Opportunity
There is no denying the fact that virtual darts are a superb way for families, friends, and business colleagues to get together and spend a couple of enjoyable hours, even if for some of that time it becomes ultra-competitive as everyone tries to win. There are even some venues that now have virtual darts leagues which is another opportunity to meet and socialise with others.
#7 – It Is Lots of Fun
Saving the best until the last? Well, if having fun is not the most awesome feature of virtual darts then we do not know what else it could be. Combining technology and a traditional game is the best of both worlds and certainly the best of fun for all who play virtual darts.
