If you’ve ever played a game of darts and found yourself second-guessing the math—especially after a drink or two—you’re not alone. Thankfully, the team at Target Darts has answered our beer-soaked prayers with the Omni: a revolutionary new auto-scoring system unveiled at CES 2025.
The Omni brings professional-level precision to your home setup, with built-in cameras, app connectivity, and even voice feedback—so you can focus on throwing and trash-talking instead of scribbling numbers on a chalkboard.
🧲 How Omni Works
The Omni is a magnetic LED halo that attaches directly to any standard-size dartboard. Inside the ring are four 1080p cameras that use computer vision to instantly detect where your dart lands—with 99.7% accuracy. No sensors in the darts, no special board required.
Your scores are immediately logged in the DartCounter app, which not only tracks the match in real-time but also:
- Gives you live statistical feedback
- Stores your throw data for long-term improvement
- Lets you challenge players around the world
- Offers a range of game modes (including 501, Cricket, and vs DartBot AI)
Even better? The system includes voice prompts, just like in pro darts broadcasts. It’ll tell you exactly how many points you need for your next throw—so you’ll sound like a champ without doing any mental math.
🌍 Connect with Players Worldwide
If playing solo isn’t your thing, Omni makes it easy to find opponents. The DartCounter app features a live lobby where you can challenge other players across the globe. For a more immersive experience, Target also offers the Virt Camera System, which uses dual webcams to stream both you and your dartboard in real time—bringing you one step closer to professional play.
And yes, this setup was used during pandemic-era darts tournaments when players competed from home. The only thing stopping some pros? Their Wi-Fi.
💵 Pricing & Availability
The Omni scoring system begins shipping January 31 in the UK for £449.95 (~$556 USD). US customers can find a list of authorized retailers directly on Target Darts’ website.
