    abstract = "Racket game variants like Frescobol, Matkot, etc. are quite popular in
many countries with beaches all over the world. In Greece the name of
this newly born sport is Beach-Racket and it was recognized as an
official sport in 2014. Key steps in its evolution were the introduction
of a high-tech score measuring system, mobiXeyes, developed by Mobics
S.A., a spin-off company of University of Athens. In this work we
describe the basic rules of Beach-Racket and the technology adopted for
fulfilling the requirements imposed by the sport. The system is based on
two high frame rate cameras and implements a stereoscopic method to
calculate the speed of a ball in every hit. Apart from this, it offers a
GUI interface for setup, player and category management, calculation of
statistics etc. The system in general can calculate the 3D position and
the speed of a fast moving object and could be used also in a wide range
of relevant sports with none or minor modifications. (C) 2015 Published
