ELVA provides a markerless 3D motion capture system for golf swing analysis, using an eight‑camera setup to record full‑body and club movement without wearables. The high‑speed video is processed by pose‑tracking algorithms to deliver precise metrics such as sway, thrust, lift, bend, tilt and rotation, presented through an intuitive dashboard with visual overlays and slow‑motion playback. Designed for quick installation and easy use, ELVA enables golfers and coaches to access data‑driven insights and share results via cloud storage.

Problem
Golfers and coaches often rely on subjective observation or cumbersome sensor-based systems to analyze swing mechanics, leading to imprecise feedback and limited training efficiency. Access to detailed, quantitative movement data typically requires specialized equipment and technical expertise, creating barriers for many players and teaching facilities.
Solution
ELVA offers a markerless 3D motion capture system that records full-body and club movement using an eight‑camera setup, eliminating the need for wearables or manual marker placement. High‑speed video from multiple angles is processed by advanced pose‑tracking algorithms to deliver precise measurements of swing dynamics such as sway, thrust, lift, bend, tilt, and rotation. The captured data is presented through an intuitive software interface that provides actionable insights and visualizations, enabling players to align their perception with objective metrics. The system is designed for quick installation and straightforward operation, allowing coaches to integrate quantitative analysis into regular training sessions without extensive technical overhead.
Target Audience
ELVA is aimed at individual golfers, professional and amateur coaches, and golf training facilities that seek data‑driven swing analysis without the complexity of traditional motion‑capture rigs.
