Immersive sports training solutions

Virtual and Augmented Reality is already making big strides in numerous industries and the sports industry is following close behind. Professional sports teams such as the MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA and the NCAA already use big data to analyze plays and create game strategies. But now, VR technology has the potential to also transform the spectator experience, sports broadcasting, and athletic coaching and performance. Read on for more about immersive sports training in a virtual world.

More than just fun

The technology behind immersive sports training is a combination of advanced sensing technology, computer vision, machine learning and data visualization. It can be used in a variety of scenarios where the applications and benefits are numerous.

For starters, immersive training can be used to give real-time feedback to coaches and athletes in realistic environments. Players can perform a skill such as shooting a basketball, and VR technology will analyze the ball’s trajectory and show an optimal shooting angle via graphics and videos.

VR technology can also display immersive analytics such as shooting percentages visualized as a heat map overlaid on a court, for coaches to make real-time decisions. Additionally, smart clothing, which is enhanced with interwoven circuitry and sensors, can help improve posture and form in sports ranging from yoga to golf.

Finally, VR in sports training provides a safe training environment that reduces impact injuries, such as repetitive head impacts (RHI), or sub concussive impacts, that can be a major problem in contact sports.
