The Harvard Network Accessible Dartboard

Posted by chrisd on from the foosball-is-next-in-line dept.

These guys hacked a dartboard to serve scores over a wireless network. There is an OpenGL client that grabs the scores, runs the games, stores the results in a database, and suggests moves based on player's past performance. On top of all this, the client looks exactly like the dartboard, so it can be projected over the real thing.

  1. Someone I know finally made it onto slashdot by DoorFrame · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ok, so I've known a number of people in my life, but this is the first time any of them have ever did anything which warranted their appearance on the infamous slashdot. So, with my knowledge of a grand total of TWO of the players, I want to ask you, what do you think this guy is up to?

    Ok, sure, it's a cool hack... blah blah blah, but you're all missing the most important point of discussion, does or does not Marco Carbone look like Jon Favreau (of Swingers fame):

    Picture of Marco Carbone: here.
    Picture of Jon Favreau: here.

    There's almost certainly some sort of conspiracy afoot.

    PS. I attempted to find a picture of Marco Carbone as a dog, but alas the wayback machine failed me.
