PIVOT 3

After successfully securing $3 million during its latest seed funding round, wearable startup, TuringSense, and its partner, Hall of Fame coach Nick Bollettieri, launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for its device, PIVOT.

Sharing details about PIVOT, TuringSense stated:

PIVOT 6“Tennis, throughout its centuries-old history, hasn’t fully harnessed the power of technology to elevate playing and training — until now! TuringSense created PIVOT to fill this gap. It’s the world’s first wearable for tennis with innovative multi-sensor, full body motion analysis that helps you master complex movements, avoid injuries and conquer the competition.

 

“What’s more, PIVOT incorporates Hall of Fame coach Nick Bollettieri’s unique training techniques into its coaching system. Bollettieri has developed many leading players including Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Monica Seles, Maria Sharapova, Jelena Janković, Sabine Lisicki, Sara Errani, Venus and Serena Williams, Martina Hingis, Anna Kournikova, Kei Nishikori, and Boris Becker.”

Here is how PIVOT works:

  1. Capture all the details of your movements.
  2. Receive real-time feedback and analysis.
  3. Understand and compare your performance with your 3D model.

PIVOT 5The company noted that PIVOT uses multiple senses to recreate joint and body movements It will supposedly understand the wearer’s distinct movements and how they generated each swing. The device’s biomechanics analysis and continuous comparison with the user’s reference strokes allow them to identify and improve specific movements:

“You can master swings on the court and guard against injuries without wires or expensive cameras. Regardless of skill, Pivot is going to take your game to a whole new level. It is truly a game changer!”

Wearers can also avoid injury, play longer, and recover from injury more quickly due to Pivot helping to teach the proper technique:

“PIVOT actively studies your form and recognizes patterns that cause chronic injuries. It notifies you of improper technique AND shows you how to correct it.”

PIVOT 4Also sharing details about the device’s 3D playback feature, TuringSense explained:

“PIVOT’s 3D playback is the result of our advanced motion capture technology. Replay any of your past swings at normal or slower speeds to truly understand your performance. Take advantage of a 360 degree viewing angle so you never miss any details again.”

TuringSense’s Indiegogo campaign is aiming to raise $75,000 to begin production on PIVOT.  Among the perks being offered are:

  • PIVOT 2The first 100 “Early Bird” backers can get a PIVOT Challenger Pack at a price of $249, an attractive 38% discount off the retail price of $449.
