The Glenwood, a Vernon, New Jersey restaurant bar, recently introduced a game room that features a darts game enhanced with augmented reality, according to a press release.

Scott Robertson, co-owner, gained a love for darts while growing up in the U.K.

The game room, called The Underground, offers three 501 Darts AR lanes and two additional lanes featuring 501's other darts product, 501 Darts Interactive, which allows instant automated scoring and video game graphics presented on a big-screen TV.

501 Darts AR automatically projects scores and video game-style graphics onto the board, transforming the competition-grade dartboard into a screen that reacts to darts thrown in real time.

"I've invested in 501 Darts AR because it attracts groups of people and encourages them to play more and spend more time eating and drinking," Robertson said in the release. "Our patrons are floored when they go down into The Underground and see the 501 Darts boards. They're blown away when they play, just like I was."

501 Darts Augmented Reality is distributed by Sega Amusements International.
