Bellsouth INTEROP / Golf Swing Analysis

At INTEROP 1994, IMTC And BellSouth worked together to provide trade show visitors with feedback on their golf swings. BellSouth provided a fiber link from the Georgia World Congress Center to IMTC's labs at Georgia Tech.  IMTC then used this link to transfer data from an Ascension Technologies' Flock o' Birds motion capture system (located on the exhibit floor of the Georgia World Congress Center) to IMTC's Silicon Graphics Inc. ONYX Reality Engine.  The SGI then processed the streaming data and returned a video system that was projected for the audience back at the BellSouth exhibit.  Real-time control of this video stream allowed a golf pro to view the golfer’s swing from any angle and offer suggestions for improvement.
