It could adjust the stick figure size to match the persons height and controlled a video tape deck via RS-232 to single step the video. The stick figure data was digitized from films of golf pro's at a high frame rate and the frames that best matched the 1/30 second frame rate of video were used. A genlock superimposed the graphics over the video. Wrote the software under contract and got a percentage, but the business never took off. It was somewhat cumbersome to use (roll the big rack shown in the picture out onto a golf course), they charged a lot, and they had no proof it actually helped improve golf swings, though they gathered some testimonials. The results of an analysis were difficult for a customer to use as well, for example "slow down your swing in the early 8 o'clock part of the swing", how do you do that? How much do you do it? It was difficult to translate the differences in swings into a kinesthetic sense of what your muscles should be doing. Perhaps adding an accelerometer wrist/ankle strap could provide additional data that would help with that.
