ShotTracker, a Kansas City-based startup, sprouted from the simple idea to keep track of a basketball player’s shot.
At its core, the ShotTracker is a wearable sensor that diagrams a user’s location on the court, with an additional sensor attached inside the hoop’s net. The user just has to insert a small, unnoticeable sensor into the accompanying wristband (or shooting sleeve sold separately). The two sensors work synchronized together via its software, where the app receives all of the data produced and stores it–to view results as they happen in real-time and progress over time.
Since its inception dating back to June 2013, ShotTracker has started to ship out their product to the market as of December 2014.
