We would think of Sony as a company that does movies as well as churn out its fair share of consumer electronics, but it looks like they also have an interest in sports – otherwise how else do you think that they would actually spend time to work on the Sony Smart Tennis Sensor? For some of us, the only experience we have with tennis would be on video game consoles, but the Smart Tennis Sensor is meant for the courts and in real life.
The Sony Smart Tennis Sensor can be purchased online, where it was developed in collaboration with Wilson with the ultimate aim of letting players optimize and improve their game in the future. Not only that, Sony has also worked out partnerships with the likes of HEAD, YONEX, and Prince in order to ensure a greater degree of compatibility, especially among the more notable and established rackets manufacturers.
How does the Smart Tennis Sensor work? This simple device will be attached to the tennis racket, where it will first need to be juiced up fully in order to have it work throughout your game. It tracks your movements in a non-stop manner, and remember to turn on the sensor before playing a round. Vibration analysis mechanics and sensing technologies will be used to analyze data that are then sent to a companion app on your smartphone, letting you see videos and metrics in order to know how you can better improve your stroke or court positioning, now how about that?
