TuringSense is a Silicon Valley-based company that develops wearable sports technology solutions. Their flagship product, PIVOT, is an advanced wearable technology designed specifically for tennis. PIVOT incorporates a pack of wearable sensors that attach to different parts of the body or clothing, along with an app that provides instant biomechanical feedback based on coaching techniques from tennis legend Nick Bollettieri. This allows players to master their swings and guard against injuries without the need for wires or cameras.
PIVOT uses high-speed 360-degree full-body motion capture and advanced biomechanical analysis to help players improve their technique. It tracks and analyzes movements, providing statistics on footwork, body position, elbow bend, knee bend, and more. Additionally, PIVOT actively studies the player's form and recognizes patterns that can lead to chronic injuries, notifying them of improper technique and how to correct it.
One of PIVOT's key advantages is its wireless design, allowing players to use it anywhere and receive real-time feedback while on the court. It also enables accurate, convenient remote coaching by storing data in the cloud and making it instantly available on mobile devices. PIVOT eliminates the need for expensive labs or cameras, providing an accurate 3D replay of every stroke.
In December 2015, TuringSense launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise USD 75,000 for the production of PIVOT, offering various perks and discounts for early backers and tennis enthusiasts.
