Fujitsu : Fujitsu Develops a Golf-Swing Analyzer Featuring the Latest Sensing Technology

This morning Fujitsu demonstrated the ETGA Swing Lesson, a mobile phone application that analyzes golf swings under the guidance of professional golfer Mr. Tadashi Ezure.

Using the mobile phone's built-in sensors, the application gathers motion data, which is then fed into a 3D motion-sensing engine to analyze and assess the path of the user's golf swing and provide advice based on professional golfer Mr. Tadashi Ezure's golf principles. It also allows users to compare each swing against their past best recorded swings, making it a full-featured swing-diagnosis program. In addition, the application can connect to a number of related online mobile services, including a variety of services planned with Golf Digest Online Inc.

By equipping mobile phones with different sensors developed in-house and using them to measure data from the user's body, Fujitsu is working to offer users "human-centric solutions" that contribute to their health, sports activities, and lifestyle. The company is also actively developing other services and mobile phone capabilities that incorporate specialized knowledge from various fields.

To use this new application, you just have to put your phone attached to your back, swing and check the result… Nice isn’t it ?
