Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How does it "call" the balls?
   Boomer uses a single video camera to detect the motion of the ball on its side of the net.
   
   
2. Does Boomer ever make a mistake?
   Because it is looking for motion, it can be confused by any motion on its side of the court. Boomer will not work well on courts that have shadows cast by trees (or flags) on windy days because it will be confused by the shadow's movement. Also on windy days, or if the balls are dead, Boomer can throw the balls into the net or long. This can be adjusted by tweaking the elevation. Under normal conditions, Boomer calls the ball correctly 98% of the time, just about like a regular opponent. However, it is much more likely to give you the point rather than hook you.
   
   
3. Does Boomer bother people on adjacent courts?
   The volume on Boomer can be adjusted to be quieter than a normal match. If this is still too loud we have a wireless headphone options for total silence.
