Started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003, E Ball Games has developed the most advanced sports simulator where any sport can be played anywhere at anytime in the world, which can be used with a wide range of sports including football, soccer, baseball, basketball, and golf.  The simulator consists of a large projection screen and a network of lasers and sensors, which is able to predict the speed and direction of a ball with unparalleled precision.  E Ball Games’ simulators are even being used by the Australian Institute of Elite Athletes for training.

 “What makes our system different from other sports simulators out there is the accuracy,” said Tony Course, founder of E Ball Games.  “In fact, our simulators are so accurate that many professional athletes and sports teams around the world actually use them for training purposes.  Although it is a lot of fun to play, it is not just a game.”

 Another unique attribute of the E Ball Games Sports Simulator is its form factor; the simulator can be taken down, transported, and set up in a different location easily by just one person.  So, as opposed to competing offerings which are permanent installations, the E Ball Games simulators can be rented and set up for events ranging from children’s birthday parties to corporate functions.

The Innovation Shootout is sponsored by the six State Governments of Australia, each of which chooses a local company that has developed a cutting edge technological advancement as its state finalist.  Finalists will give presentations about their companies on January 13^th during the Innovation Fast Pitch, taking place at the Business Technology Centre, run by the Community Development Commission of the County of Los Angeles.  They will then travel to Silicon Valley to participate in the Innovation Shootout on January 15^th at the Quadras Conference Centre in Menlo Park.  The winner will be selected by a panel of judges representing prominent venture capital and legal advisory firms.

“We had a lot of companies to choose from in picking our nomination for this year’s Innovation Shootout,” said Brian Carnahan, Manager of Export Development for the Victorian Government in San Francisco.  “E Ball Games stood heads above the rest, with its fun, exciting, and innovative sports simulators.  I expect they will take America by storm.”
