BELLEVUE, Wash., January 19, 2022 -- Sportsbox AI, an AI-powered technology company that brings single-camera markerless 3D motion capture and AI analysis to mobile applications, announced today that Sea Island Golf Performance Center - a world-class golf instruction and training facility - has become an official partner of Sportsbox AI to begin offering “3D Golf” lessons with Sportsbox 3D Golf application to their members and customers.
“Sea Island has been an iconic brand in the golf world, a destination resort with world-class golf courses and instruction facilities. Since my very first visit as a member of the Yale Women’s Golf Team during our Spring training trip, I’ve always admired the world-class caliber of instructors and their leadership when it comes to incorporating cutting-edge technology that could help everyone who comes through Sea Island advance their game.” said Jeehae Lee, CEO and Co-Founder of Sportsbox AI.
“We are extremely proud to partner with Sea Island GPC to provide our “3D on the go” technology for their elite instructors, and we’re excited to work with their team to help golfers improve faster with accurate 3D motion data in every lesson.”
Sea Island Golf Performance Center is a state-of-the-art 17,000 square foot facility with a team of world-renowned golf instructors, experts in every area of the game including putting and fitness. With two of Golf Digest’s “50 Best Teachers in America,” one of Golf Magazine’s “Top 100 Instructors in America,” two Golf Digest “Best Young Teachers in America,” three Golf Digest‘s “Top 100 Fitters in America,” and one of Golf Digest‘s Best International Teachers, the Golf Performance Center boasts more top teachers than any other single golf instructional center in the country. Students of all levels - from beginners to PGA TOUR and LPGA players - can access industry-leading technology, oceanfront hitting and club fitting bays, and a highly advanced putting studio.
“We always strive to offer the best technology in the game to all of our students - whether they are major champions or someone just starting to learn the game, and Sportsbox 3D Golf is a one-of-a-kind technology that provides incredibly valuable data needed for golf instruction - 3D motion data on the go.” said Craig Allen, Director of Sea Island Golf Performance Center. “It’s truly amazing that within a few seconds, a mobile phone can generate a complete 3D model of the golf swing motion and tell us 3D motion data that only a multi-camera 3D motion capture studio requiring markers and sensors could capture previously.”
“We believe that this is going to be a game-changer for golf instructors and players worldwide and are proud to be at the forefront of the change, offering this unique technology to all our students.”
With Sportsbox Golf, coaches and golfers have the ability to take a single 2D video from a mobile phone -- with no markers and sensors -- and turn it into a full 3D avatar that can be viewed from six different angles, as well as provide 3D biomechanical measurements in inches, degrees, linear and angular velocities. The app enables golfers to:
- 3D Motion Capture: Use of a mobile phone camera to create a detailed 3D model of an athletic motion from a single 2D video -- without any markers using over 30 key points
- Highly Accurate 3D Kinematic Measurements: Kinematic parameters and sequences relevant to measuring and analyzing the body movement in sports - in full 3D
- Seamless Coaching Live and Remote: 3D data and visualization tools whether you’re with the student or remote; communication, CRM, and payment tools, as well as video editing tools for visually impactful lesson notes integrated for an all-in-one coaching platform
- Drills and Guided Personalized Practice Plan to Improve Your Outcome Goal(s): Guided practice and training roadmap tailored to your needs and goals
Sportsbox plans to work with a broad spectrum of elite instructors who believe in the power of 3D measurements -- agnostic to swing methodology. The AI Coach will be built using the data collected on what creates optimal outcomes for different golfers based on their skill level and biomechanics.
