Cloud Rupture Aims To Help Golfers Improve Swings With Virtual Reality Coaching
At a recent accelerator event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, sports startup Cloud Rupture showcased a virtual reality prototype which aims to help golfers improve their swing with the aid of this technology.
The early-stage product, Swingchronicity, is able to provide a full 3D arch of a golfer’s swing as it happens and will be aimed at golf coaches and clubs to help members improve their skills. Wearing a headset to experience the virtual golf course, users when taking swings with controllers can measure club head speed, club face angle, club head path, position of impact and angle of attack. The virtual coach provides audio feedback.
