PuttView Aims To Improve Putting Through Augmented Reality Application

Hamburg, Germany-based company Viewlicity GmbH is forever altering how golfers visualize putting and improve their stroke on the practice greens.

Through its Outdoor PuttView system, which is still currently being piloted, players will be able to wear augmented reality glasses on the golf course in order to see their ideal putting line. When it is formally introduced, it will be one of the first, if not the first, applications of augmented reality in golf.

“Augmented reality solutions are particularly interesting in sectors in which perception and cognitive processing is supported by visualization and where people have to have their hands free for other tasks,” said Frank Steinicke, Professor for Human-Computer-Interaction at the University of Hamburg and a close collaborator on PuttView.
