User interface design for orientation sensor-based biomechanical feedback in golf

This paper presents the development of an intuitive user interface (UI) for a biomechanical feedback (BMF) system to improve the golf swing. The main idea behind the research is to develop an application that will allow golfers to learn correct techniques more efficiently. Our BMF system consists of a mountable device with an Arduino microcontroller and a BNO086 orientation sensor that transmits data at 200 Hz to provide real-time feedback on club orientation. The user interface was developed using the Unity engine to ensure compatibility with different platforms and incorporate semi-realistic graphics to enhance the user’s understanding. By allowing comparisons between excellent and sub-optimal swings of an individual player, it addresses the unique techniques of individual golfers. This focus on individual’s technique is a new approach, that we haven’t found to be used any other research project.
