Golf Dynamics

TatvaSoft developed an advanced sports performance system transforming raw motion capture data into actionable golf swing analysis and coaching intelligence.

Overview

TatvaSoft was engaged to develop a Windows-based custom application that simultaneously captures and displays 3D biomechanical data from magnetic trackers during a golf player's practice session in real time. The resulting Golf Simulation System analyzes swings through 3D animation, compares them with a perfect swing, and generates detailed graphical reports for coaches and professionals.

Customer

A Miami based golf performance academy helping amateur and professional golfers improve their game through advanced biomechanics and motion analysis.

Miami

Challenge

The client’s application was intended to track real-time 3D biomechanical data from magnetic trackers. This collected data can be utilized in applied research as well as for coaching professionals.

The client approached TatvaSoft with the idea of creating a “Golf Simulation System” that allows computers to analyze data captured while a golf player hits a ball then it will display 3D animation output and synthesize it as a biomechanical report.

Unable to establish successful communication between the host computer and the captured device
Capturing data at 240 Hz from six different sensors without missing a single record
Unable to ensure synchronization of 3D motion capture system signals
Unable to process digital signals
Inability to create 3D animation of golfer based on data received from sensors
Unable to build and determine critical frame/instant in time
Select appropriate animation models/meshes for display
Re-sizing of animation models/meshes to match with individual golfer's dimensions

Solution

Considering the client’s requirement complexity in developing the golf Simulator application, our expert product development team at TatvaSoft proposed unique development ideas to the client. In agreement with that, we created the Golf Simulation System that provides multiple benefits to all the golf coaches to analyze swings, decipher areas where the player needs attention, and analyze each and every detail without going to the golf court.

Some of the core highlighted features of the solution are

Read and capture 3D data from trackers (cabled device or wireless sensors) at the rate of 240 data per second from each sensor
Data Verification and synchronization
Digital signal processing
Defining a standard view for 3d animation
A comparison of the golfer's swing with a perfect swing
360-degree view of the golf players positions while playing a shot
Providing export functionality for variables as well as data
Generating different graphical reports
In-built customization of reporting tools
Inserted functionality of keeping a track record of all trained players with the skillset
Integration with external hardware like pressure mats & launch monitors
Manage players personal information with Analysis History

Result

TatvaSoft developed “Golf Simulation System” has helped the client to become one of the leading golf coaches and train players and professionals for skill improvement. The client has achieved multiple benefits from our solution such as:

Allowing the seamless flow of information to develop from the “feels” associated with a different movement pattern.
Limited Space needs by catering to any size of areas or yards.
Helpful for the golf coach to provide the flexibility of use, ease of setup but with full 6DOF 3D motion capture.
Low Budgeted and high output solution
Due to the controlled climate within a golf simulator space, one no longer has to worry about your round of golf being canceled.
