It further utilizes machine learning and computer vision to track players’ statistics while playing and then analyze the data captured to improve their game. Co-founders Paul Anton and Lyth Saeed spent a year prototyping and then another three years perfecting Huupe’s hardware as well as software with CTO Dan Hayes. There’s no word yet on pricing, but the company is taking pre-orders for $100 with a ship date expected some time during the second half of 2023.
