What makes the tech great?
Praaktis’s patented software provides real-time motion capture and targeted feedback without the use of traditional motion capture wires or spot markers. Detailed measurements can be tailored to specific sporting routines as demonstrated by the best players in their field.
Fans and players capture their own performance of the routines and Praaktis software offers real-time scores and analysis. Scores can be tailored to encourage technique improvement; injury avoidance; and most important, competitive comparison against other users, stimulating repetition and consistent regular engagement.
Traditional motion capture has been used by many sporting bodies for years, but by providing scores and data via an app, Praaktis software opens up motion capture to mass market and fans, enables expert analysis at scale, and dramatically reduces core costs.

How to use it
A case study on the tennis court
First a video is created of a star player completing a routine such as a serve or backhand to their highest standard. This is then the exemplar. These routines are then integrated into an easy to use app for smartphone or tablet.
A tennis player is then filmed undertaking the same routine using their smartphone or tablet. Praaktis software provides an immediate score showing how well that player (and others) are performing compared with the exemplar. In addition, detailed data of the player’s actual movement shows exactly where the player fails to match the exemplar and where improvements should be made.
A business proposition for sporting bodies
As a sporting body you may be looking for opportunities to:
Develop new revenue streams
Increase fan engagement
Identify emerging talent
Get coaches operating with more scale
Generate detailed data to help elite professionals improve performance and reduce injury.
If so, Praaktis can license you our technology and help you design and build an application (or integrate our technology into an existing app or website) that best suits your needs and budget.
By allowing anonymous data sharing, you can engage with your fan base anywhere; measure improvements in grassroots technique and safety as well as simple participation; and ensure star performers get it right each time.
New revenue streams can be driven from app downloads and the purchase of sporting stars’, sponsors’ or sporting body merchandise.
