digital eyes for professional sports
physics-based electronic line-calling technology designed for scalable and accessible competition.
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 6 camera footprint so more venues can adopt electronic line-calling credibly.
engineered for credible decisions, at scale
where mata plays
supported by the badminton world federation (BWF) under their research programme, with a pilot deployment at the world junior badminton championships in october 2026.
what mata gives federations & clubs
prestige & trust
- the fairness of a world-class event
- credibility that lifts your competition
- standards that cascade down the sport
broadcast-ready
- instant visual replays & challenges
- api-ready data for overlays
- richer match storytelling
no more disputes
- an objective call, every time
- fewer officiating bottlenecks
- transparency players & fans trust
- completed
hardware prototype tested
first compact camera rig assembled and benchmarked off-court.
- completed
foundational trajectory modelling completed
proof-of-concept work based on physics-driven shuttle trajectory reconstruction.
- in progress
digital twin development
end-to-end virtual environment of court, cameras, and shuttle dynamics.
- in progress
ongoing live experiments
iterating on calibration, latency, and calls in real venue conditions.
one platform. first we call the game — then we help you win it.
mata ELC
precise, affordable electronic line-calling. our wedge onto the court — and the reason the cameras get installed.
mata Playmaker
shot & performance analytics from the trajectory data we already capture. edge for the pros; long-term improvement for amateurs. high-margin and recurring — near-zero marginal cost once we're on court.
same cameras · same physics-based trajectory engine → line-calling and analytics. ELC opens the door; Playmaker turns mata into a court-intelligence platform.
deep-tech. focused. uncompromising.
"i wasn’t engineered for the sport, but i could engineer for it."
mata combines mathematical modelling, physics-based trajectory reconstruction, and automated calibration to create a more scalable approach to electronic line-calling.
why "mata"
mata represents digital eyes quietly policing professional sports, where every point matters.
