Physimax’s markerless motion-capture assessments are gaining traction in elite sports, including with the NBA’s Pacers and Jazz, MLB’s Rockies, the U.S. Tennis Association player development program, major college athletic programs such as Clemson and UNC, and Brazil’s most popular soccer club, Flamengo.
The equipment needed was already minimal—requiring only a 3D camera such as a Microsoft Kinect—but now could become near-universal. Physimax has adapted its algorithms to be compatible with the cameras on smartphones and tablets. The company, headquartered in Israel, said accuracy validation has been conducted in UNC’s Sports Medicine Research Laboratory. The adapted system is currently in field testing with a full release expected in the fourth quarter of 2019.
