Golf Dynamics
Challenge
Our customer is a Miami, USA-based golf person who is strongly inclined to create a personalized framework based on windows that can simultaneously collect and view data from the practice session of golf players in real-time. The customer’s application was designed to detect magnetic trackers in real-time 3D biomechanical data. This information gathered can be used both in applied and coaching studies.
The customer approached Shivagya Infosoft in the concept of developing a ‘golf simulation system,’ allowing computers to analyze the data obtained by hitting a shot, then displaying the 3D animation output and synthesizing it as a biomechanical study.
Key challenges of the project were:
- The communication between the host machine and the registered system could not be effective
- 240 Hz data collection from six separate sensors without a single record lacking
- Cannot guarantee 3D motion capture system signals are synchronized
- Digital signals cannot be processed
- Inability to produce 3D golfer animation based on sensor data
- Essential frame/instant cannot be designed and calculated in time
- Choose the right model/display animation mix.
- Redimensioning the animation models/meshes to accommodate the proportions of each golfer

Solution
Our expert product development team at Shivagya Infosoft offered unique development ideas to customers given the complexity of customer requirements in developing the Golf simulator application. 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 features of the solution are given below:
- 3D tracker (cabled computer or wireless sensors) read and record data at a rate of 240 per second from each sensor
- Data Check and Synchronize
- Production of digital signal
- Setting a 3d animation standard view
- The golfer’s swing compares with a flawless swing
- 360° view of the locations of golf players playing a shot
- Functionality to export all variables and results
- Generate various graphical reports
- Built-in reporting feature personalization
- The functionality of having a list of all skilled players
- Integration of external hardware such as pressure pads & starters.
- Manage personal data with analysis history of players
Result
The ‘Golf Simulation System’ created helped the customer becoming one of the leading trainers for skills development and trains players and professionals. The customer has benefited from our approach, for example
- Allow the smooth flow of knowledge from the “feels” of another activity pattern to create.
- Limited space requirements for all areas or yards by means of catering.
- Helpful for the golf coach, flexible use, and easily configured, but fully captured 6D OF 3D movement.
- Low cost and high-performance approach
- The monitored environment in a golf simulator area means that you do not have to think about the cancellation of a golf round.
