• Resumen

  • A sensor-laden sleeve, developed by Cynthia Kuo, co-founder of Vibrado in Sunnyvale CA, promises to improve basketball players' shooting skills by tracking their arm movements and calculating the arc of their shots. The sleeve is equipped with accelerometers that sit over the players biceps, forearm and back of the hand. As they practice, the sleeve keeps track of every arm movement and compares it with an ideal model of arm motion for a basketball shot. It can either provide feedback through a series of light and sound cues from the sleeve's sensors, or run in silent mode so the player can focus on practicing. Afterwards, they can check their performance on a laptop.
