digital eyes for professional sports
physics-based electronic line-calling technology designed for scalable and accessible competition.
initially focused on badminton, with future expansion into additional racquet sports.
mata is a technology that acts as digital eyes policing professional sports where every point matters.
line-calling has not scaled with the sport
- expensive
- difficult to deploy
- labour intensive
- inaccessible to many tournaments
- inconsistent officiating coverage
- controversial line calls
- lower-tier competitions excluded
- limited accessibility despite growing demand
a precise, deployable line-calling stack
three engineering principles guide every layer of the system.
physics-based trajectory modelling
trajectories reconstructed from first principles — drag, lift, and gravity — for high-fidelity ball flight estimation.
automated calibration workflow
court geometry and camera intrinsics resolved automatically, removing days of on-site setup and manual surveying.
scalable lower-cost deployment
designed around commodity hardware and a compact 4–6 camera footprint so more venues can adopt electronic line-calling credibly.
engineered for credible decisions, at scale
built for badminton first

independent. deep-tech. focused.
mata is an independent deep-tech initiative focused on building scalable electronic line-calling systems for modern sports.
combining mathematics, physics, software, and practical understanding of racquet sports.
