Project summary

An experimental design project that resulted in a prototype that gives you feedback on your basketball shot with sound.

What did I do?

During this project, I looked into using Artificial Intelligence to make better-informed decisions. After looking into different areas. It resulted in a prototype that uses sound to represent a basketball player’s shooting technique. A camera equipped with pose recognising software points to the player. This camera calculates the angle of the player’s elbow, shoulder, and knees in real-time. It translates these parameters into a sound which the player can hear realtime during the shot. This sound can be seen as a representation of the player’s shot. There is no right or wrong embedded into the sound to leave room for a personal shot signature. It is developed with the thought that there are normally fifteen players at practice and one or two coaches.This means that most of the time you will not have access to the feedback of the coach when you are shooting the basketball. But with this prototype the player can connect the feedback of the coach to a sound. So, this prototype can be used to still be aware of your coach’s feedback regarding your shooting technique even though the coach is not there.
