What We Delivered

Center Management Control Pad

A centralized control interface that brings key bowling operations into one place, enabling staff to manage sessions, reservations, receipts, and connected devices.

Self-Service Lane Kiosks

A self-service kiosk at each lane gives players control over their game experience, allowing them to customize settings, manage gameplay, and place food orders independently.

Overhead Scoring Displays

Overhead TVs above each lane display real-time scores for players, enhanced with animated reactions during strikes, spares, and other bowling events.

Interactive Lane Projections & Ball Tracking

Overhead projectors paired with the ball tracking kit trigger dynamic animations that follow each ball throw in real time, transforming traditional bowling into an engaging, augmented experience.
