Problem
Traditional cricket coaching relies heavily on subjective observation and feedback, making it difficult for players to precisely identify areas for improvement and track progress objectively. The lack of quantifiable data hinders effective technique refinement and performance optimization.
Solution
Smart Cricket's BatSense is a sensor-based system that captures and analyzes real-time batting performance data, providing players and coaches with actionable insights. The sensor, attached to the bat handle, records parameters such as bat speed, back-lift angle, impact time, and follow-through angle. This data is then transmitted to a mobile app, where it is processed and presented through 3D visualizations, smart video analysis, and comprehensive performance reports. The system enables objective assessment of batting technique, facilitates targeted training, and allows for remote coaching and performance monitoring.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes cricket players of all levels, from amateurs to professionals, as well as coaches and trainers seeking data-driven insights to improve batting performance.
