High Definition Golf

Imagine seeing the beautiful grass of the golf course, addressing the ball, and swinging your club and watching how far your ball goes right inside your living room. Interactive Sports Technologies is making this possible. I know the outdoors and beautiful scenery makes golfing even more enjoyable, but if the weather turns sour only the most dedicated players will still be out in the field.

The High Definition Golf simulator is the best simulator in the market. They will come to your house and install the system in the room of your choice. The simulator uses sensors to capture data. It can detect the club head speed and angle to 1/10th of a degree!







Data Capture
  • HD Golf’s proprietary Spectrum Sensor Technology™
  • High resolution digital video based motion detection analysis system
  • Unique ability to measure ball launch, club head path and face angle to 1/10th of a degree
  • System designed to distinguish 1/10,000 of an inch tolerance

Critical Data from Ball Launch

Swing Path and Impact Position are measured, not calculated

  • Ball speed
  • Ball launch angle – vertically
  • Ball launch angle – horizontally
  • Ball spin – backspin and spin axis
  • Club head speed
  • Club head face angle at impact
  • Club head path through impact zone
The beauty about this simulator is not the advanced data capture technology that IST uses, the best part about this simulator is the ability to compete against others online. People have the ability to compete with anyone else that has the same simulator, and even has picture-in-picture so you can watch your opponent making their swing. You can talk to them and hear them just like a webcam. This can allow users to compete competitively online by creating leagues and playoffs, get help from instructors from anywhere in the world, and allow for a fun recreational golf experience.

Imagine a new generation arcade filled with these types of simulators. An advanced car racing simulator, motorcycle simulator, football passing simulator, basketball simulator, etc.. Then imagine being connected to other arcades where you can compete with complete strangers or compete with a friend out of town. Are you picturing it? Maybe a little picture-in-picture will help you out.
