With Data Viz And GPS, Fuseproject Remakes The Game Of Golf
"You wear the small red-and-black dongle on your belt, where a Bluetooth LE, a near-field communication device, a compass, an accelerometer, and a gyrometer track your progress. A set of club pins containing RFID tags attach to the butt of each club. As you tee off, you tap the dongle with the end of the club, and it notes where you are and what club you’re using and uploads your stats to the cloud via Bluetooth. By the time you’re done, you can see your full game visualized either on the iPhone app or website. The interface shows your strokes overlaid on a Google Earth map and tracks your performance using a particular club over time." via Co.Design
