Perch offers an integrated hardware and software platform that embeds a compact 3D camera into weight rooms to capture precise, full‑body movement data comparable to gold‑standard motion capture. The system streams real‑time metrics to an iOS/Android tablet, providing instant visual feedback and tools for programming, compliance tracking, jump testing, and velocity‑based training, all without wearables. By consolidating in‑room analytics with external GPS and inertial data, Perch enables coaches and performance analysts to make data‑driven decisions while simplifying workflow.

Problem
Weight rooms often rely on multiple disconnected tools and manual data entry, making it difficult to capture precise movement metrics, ensure consistent athlete tracking, and quickly translate performance data into actionable coaching decisions.
Solution
Perch provides an integrated hardware and software platform designed to embed directly into the weight room. A compact 3D camera mounted on racks, walls, or tripods captures full-body movement with a wide field of view and high frame rate, delivering objective data comparable to gold‑standard motion capture. The system streams results to an iOS/Android tablet, offering instant visual feedback via LED indicators and RGB video playback. Coaches can create, deliver, and individualize workout programs, monitor compliance, and assess jump performance and velocity‑based training without additional wearables. By unifying in‑room analytics with external GPS and inertial data (e.g., Catapult), Perch creates a 360° view of athlete workload, readiness, and injury risk, enabling data‑driven decisions while reducing tool clutter and setup time.
Target Audience
Primary customers are strength and conditioning coaches, performance analysts, and sports science teams at professional, collegiate, and elite training facilities seeking integrated, data‑driven weight‑room solutions.
