Sports, Athletes, and Coaches

What do all sports have in common? Meaningful connections, discovery of potential, dedication in practice, high-energy motivation, and the setting and achievement of goals.

Achieving Accessibility

People tend to set more goals than they achieve. This is because not everyone has access to the same resources. What if everyone had a coach? Would more people be able to reach their goals?

One Coach for Every Sport

Artificial intelligence has the potential to be an expert in every sport. We designed a coach that helps you to set and achieve your goals in any physical activity. The system can be used for fun or for serious training.

Sport Bands

To track your limbs, there are bands equipped with sensors. Four that fasten around your wrists and ankles, and one that fastens around your chest. The sensors are removable for easy battery replacement.

Wings Case

The case is portable to keep track of bands on the go. They connect to the bands to track progress, and give users a visual representation of growth with an illuminated display of wings.

Core-to-Limb Tracking

AI tracks the movement of your limbs in relation to your core. This enables your coach to give you feedback that is personalized to your movement.

Feedback

By speaking to you through headphone connection, the coach is able to give you feedback and motivation in the moment.

Solo or Team Tracking

For team sports, teammates can wear sensors to track team performance and gain insights into improving teamwork. In a match, opponents can wear sensors to gain insights into the dynamic between competitors.
