Write some Software

I need the following underlying analysis and user interface software applications (which could consist of or include a mathematical model) developed for a golf-related application and device named a “Golf Grip Hand Structure Efficient Device” as follows.

There will be, as envisioned at this time, two small wireless sensors (probably 9DOF absolute orientation sensors), one attached to the back side of each hand of a golfer, essentially opposite of yet equivalent to the palms of the hands.

These two sensors and the accompanying software would be required to track the orientations of the hands, both completely independently of each other and as a function that directly compares their orientations to each other, over the course of a golf swing.

The device(s) will be utilized under two conditions. The first will be when there is the equivalent of a golf club/grip in hand, which provides a rigid common frame of reference running through both hands, for which the results will be considered baseline or reference information for a golfer. The second and more important condition, which defines the name and use of the device, is when only the limbs of the hands are used in swinging and the hands are formed into a gripping structure without the aid of any common reference for the hands to aid the golfer. The results indicate a critical golfing parameter known as the golf grip hand structure efficiency rating or value of a golfer.

A simplest user interface would only need to be a visual representation of a pair of hands basically centered on a screen, where the orientations of the hands, both independently and relative to each other, are visually shown over time and over the course of a golf swing, with mathematical information provided as to the 3D orientations of the hands individually and relative to each other with respect to time. An important optional feature of the application would be to create a tare function that aligns the sensors in the same direction and essentially through the centers of the hands (equivalent to the position and direction an actual golf club would have if in hand) at the start of a golf swing, which could make certain analyses more convenient and easier to comprehend.

While such a simple user interface would suffice at the start, it would certainly be much better if a visual of an actual golf swing (or at the very least the hands in motion as such) could be provided in addition to or instead of the simplest interface just described. By being able to visually depict exactly where in the swing the orientations of the hands are what they are, that would have a much improved impact on the analysis of and learning via the application. Although a general simulated golf swing could be implemented that does not need to match that of a golfer particularly well, a truly skilled individual should be able to use the data from the sensors to much more accurately reconstruct the actual swings of individual golfers, which would greatly benefit the application as a whole.

I confess that I do not know whether all of this (or none of this) can be developed and developed well without needing to know what specific hardware will be utilized. I admit I am not intimately familiar with terms like the Cloud, Internet of Things, other somewhat recent terms, and even the different between firmware and software, nor do I immediately know whether I want a computer or phone application for example and how different (if at all) the software described might need to be as a result. To that end, if any features of the hardware need to be explicitly known to begin or complete the software work described above, I will need some expert advice for determining what hardware or development devices might best be used and why before I will really be able to proceed.

Hourly or project estimates can be considered. Additional details can be provided as needed. Thanks.
