GolfSense Store — Product


GolfSense is the world's first portable three dimensional sensor system designed to deliver real-time feedback and analysis of your golf swing. The patented high velocity motion engine uses data from 4 discrete MEMS sensors inside the device to accurately calculate club speed, club position, swing tempo, and swing path. The revolutionary and free mobile app allows you to analyze each segment of your swing from any angle.
Simply connect GolfSense to your mobile device via bluetooth, and let the fun begin. The application can be set to automatically capture and save every swing in rapid succession or just the ones you select with a simple press of the yellow button. Turn on "impact detection" and GolfSense will ignore your practice swings and only log those that pertain to actual ball contact.  It's easy, fun, automatic, and awesome!
Review any single swing, or compare two separate swings at once within the application.  GolfSense is not only a product, but it's a platform that will soon allow you to compare your swings to many others including professionals and coaches.

Cursum - Wheelchair Adapted Stroller by Cindy Sjöblom » Yanko Design
Have to love all the new "design" coming out today, many thanks to "kickstarter".

Parenting in the first stages of infancy can be incredibly challenging – add a mobile disability to the equation and you can imagine how daunting it might seem. The Cursum stroller concept aims to make life a little easier by adapting to use in tandem with a wheelchair. Swivel wheels, complete height adjustment, attention to comfort and visibility and advanced safety features give parents added security and a little independence to an already challenging life experience.

Rafael Nadal demonstrates Babolat Play & Connect interactive tennis racquet

The Babolat Play & Connect interactive tennis racquet is designed to look and feel like any other from the French sporting manufacturer, but its handle is packed with sensors and electronics which record data about a player's game and allow users to analyze their performance either by downloading the info via USB, or watching live stats over a wireless connection to a computer, tablet or smartphone.
Babolat says it partnered with movement analyzing firm Movea to produce the racquet, which has been five years in the making, and that it's the first MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology enabled racquet with the built-in ability to gather and analyze game data.
