SoftKinetic Partners with guru training systems to Introduce 3D Golf Swing Analysis System
swinguru to debut at Consumer Electronics Show in SoftKinetic Booth
SoftKinetic™, the leading developer of end-to-end gesture recognition solutions, today announced that it has partnered with guru training systems to create swinguru, the world’s first real-time, markerless gesture recognition golf training and teaching system. Leveraging SoftKinetic’s award-winning iisu™ middleware, swinguru is an intuitive and interactive 3D gesture recognition golf swing analysis solution, designed by scientists and engineers in cooperation with some of the world’s top rated golf instructors to help improve a player’s game.
Stacked above iisu middleware, guru training systems‘ software, swinguru combines the engineering- grade precision of optical tracking with a strong emphasis on a simple and intuitive user interface. Swinguru training and teaching system measure body and club motion providing real-time 3D visual feedback, including body part movements, center of gravity displacements, swing path, swing speed, shoulder rotation, spine angle and much more.
“SoftKinetic’s 3D gesture recognition solutions are versatile, platform-agnostic and scalable, allowing them to be easily adapted for interactive experiences such as swinguru,” said Michel Tombroff, CEO, SoftKinetic. “By working closely with the guru training systems team, we empowered them to offer a level of user-friendliness and intuitivity in swing analysis that the golf industry did not have access to before”.
“swinguru utilizes iisu to accurately measure hundreds of data points per second, and we are excited to offer an unpreceded view into the science behind golf,” said Sébastien Wulf, the company’s co-founder and CEO. “Information about swing adjustment decisions paired with an immersive and intuitive user experience, will make swinguru training systems popular with golf teachers and students."
guru training systems’ product line will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), January 10–13, 2012 in the 3D Gesture Technology Village, South Hall, Upper Level, Booth 36062. In addition swinguru will also be demonstrated at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando Florida, January 26–28, 2012 in Booth 1373.
