It has just been over a year since we have invested in our coaching technology and to celebrate, instead of telling you all that we do with it (check out our tutorial page here<\/a> if this is what you want!), we are going to show you some other sports and applications to our technology.<\/p>\n

First up… Trackman<\/p>\n

Trackman<\/h3>\n

Here at PAR Academy, we have two launch monitors, GCQuad and Trackman 4. GCQuad is predominantly used for golf, however Trackman units and technology are used in many other sports.<\/p>\n

The other main sport for Trackman is Baseball<\/strong>. Just like in golf, measuring launch and ball parameters for both hitters and pitchers can help coaches learn, improve and feedback to players.<\/p>\n

Every MLB stadium has Trackman units installed, to provide game statistics and feedback to coaches and players.<\/p>\n

It has also been tested within the last year to call balls and strikes to replace umpire calls.<\/p>\n

3D Motion<\/h3>\n

3D is used in a variety of disciplines, not just sport. This includes animations for films and video games, as well as clinical applications.\u00a03D is used to analyse human motion to the highest degree of accuracy.<\/p>\n

There are two main types of 3D motion systems, inertial sensors and optical systems.<\/p>\n

Optical systems can track any human motion, in a capture area defined by multiple cameras. For it to track human motion, we have to place reflective markers (just like we do with GCQuad) on the person or area we would like to measure. So if you can perform your activity or sport movement in a defined space, then optical 3D tracking is possible!<\/p>\n

In the biomechanics lab at University of Portsmouth, during my masters we have recorded and analysed using an optical system, the following sports or movements:<\/p>\n
