- 1. Baseball & Wearable TechnologyDEVELOPMENT PROCESS
- 2. Challenges Bulky Hardware User Adaptability The Perfect
Swing Overall lack of time/resources
- 3. Batting Stance Theory A perfect swing may not exist BUTthere
are common movements playersmake throughout a successful swing
Studied several videos of homerun hittersto find common
gestures
- 4. Common Foot Movements
- 5. Product Overview
- 6. Product Features Foot pressure sensors (via FSR) Foot tilt
sensors (via accelerometer) Foot pivot sensors (via compass)
Real-time vibrating pressure feedback Real-time pressure tracking
(mobile app) Real-time tilt tracking (mobile app) Real-time foot
pivot tracking (mobile app)
- 7. System Overview
- 8. Hardware: MicrocontrollerPowered by a AdafruitsFLORA
microcontroller
- 9. Hardware: BatteryThe 3.7v battery powersthe
FLORAmicrocontroller & all itscomponents
- 10. Hardware: Conductive ThreadConnects the FLORA toall its
componentsincluding: Battery Pressure sensor Accelerometer
Vibrating motor disk
- 11. Hardware: SensorsMeasures the pressure placedon each foot
throughout aplayers swingMeasures the position of thefoot on the x-
, y- & z- axis
- 12. Hardware: OutputVibrates on side of footwhen player needs
toswitch pressure on feet
- 13. Programming Overview Code Overview A combination of the C++
& Java were usedto program hardware & mobile app
Applications Used Libraries/applications were used to write
ourcode: Adafruit Arduiono 1.0.5.2 Processing 2.1.1
- 14. Programming: Hardware Arduino used to run sensors + extract
data For each, we used combinations of forloops(), if statements +
Boolean logic toextract data from sensors and generatefeedback via
sensors + the mobile app
- 15. Programming: Pressure sensor
- 16. Programming: Compass
- 17. Programming: Accelerometer
- 18. Output: Mobile App Mobile App Overview Apps target users
are both the players andcoaches looking to improve batting
stance
- 19. Mobile App Design Overview
- 20. Design Overview Majestics blue & red used for
inspiration Colors saturation will be modified to create abrighter,
tech-centered palette Fonts will be different variations
ofHelvetica Nueve White background to create contrast
- 21. Data Analysis Design Potential
- 22. Data Insights Potential
- 23. Data Insights Potential
- 24. Data Insights Potential
- 25. Programming: Mobile app Processing used to generate data
intovisuals that interact with data Used a combination of custom
functionswith for loops() and if statements togenerate colors and
shapes that representthe data over time
- 26. Programming: Pressure App
- 27. Programming: Compass App
- 28. Programming: Accelerometer App
- 29. Mobile App in Action
- 30. Mobile App in Action
- 31. Mobile App in Action
- 32. Product Potential Additional sensors: Pressure sensor in
ball and heel of each foot totrack pressure shift from front to
back Distance sensor on inside of each foot to detectwidth of
batters stance Bluetooth connection to communicate withmobile
application LED battery status indicator
