Description
Summary:The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a golfer’s movement and provide the feedback related to the golfer’s skill with the simple and novel ways. A golfer can easily measure golf swings and get feedback based on his performance using an Android smart phone without expensive or complicated devices. In this thesis, we designed and implemented an Android application using an accelerometer sensor to analyze swing data for identifying critical points and to give various kinds of feedback based on the data. The feedback helps golfers to understand their swing patterns, timing and speed so it makes them improve their skills.
