Announces new app for Android users in time for basketball season.
Las Vegas, NV (January 6, 2014) — InfoMotion Sports Technologies (www.infomotionsports.com) announces the new app for Android devices will be available this quarter (Q1 2014). The 94Fifty Smart Sensor Basketball measures and diagnoses key skills critical to building confidence, versatility, and success in the game. The companion apps allow a young athlete to train on specific skills, work through levels of increasingly difficult workouts, and compete head to head with other players around the world via Twitter.
The 94Fifty utilizes nine sensors inside the ball to deliver real-time shooting and ball-handling feedback including shot speed, backspin and arc measurements, via Bluetooth Low Energy, giving players of any skill level the ability to improve important muscle memory skills more efficiently and effectively.
The small suite of sensors inside the regulation size and weight basketball measures skill precisely and quickly utilizes that data to prescribe proven, personalized methods to improve shooting mechanics, shot release speed, shooting arc, power dribbling, hand-speed, mental coordination, and many other skills that have been traditionally impossible to measure.
“We are thrilled to be demonstrating the 94Fifty Smart Sensor Basketball at the 2014 International CES. The addition of the Android app will allow for more young athletes to experience this revolutionary new type of training that provides real, measurable skill development based on game play elements and instant feedback while helping to build players confidence as they see improvement,” said Michael Crowley, CEO of InfoMotion Sports Technologies. “We are committed to creating game-changing training tools to help athletes develop their skills in any sport, and the response to our first product to market, the 94Fifty, from coaches and athletes has been tremendous.”
The 94Fifty is being showcased at the InfoMotion Sports Technologies CES booth: South Hall 2 Booth Number 25524. It has been named
an International CES Innovations 2014 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for the 94Fifty Smart Sensor Basketball in the Embedded Technologies; Gaming Hardware & Accessories; and Health & Fitness categories.
The 94Fifty App is optimized for iOS 7 and Android with fresh, clean designs and gives athletes the ability to share their achievements with friends, family and coaches via social media.
94Fifty Smart Sensor Basketball is available for $295 at Apple Retail Stores and online at shop.94fifty.com. The 94Fifty App is available for free from the App Store and will be available in the Google Play store by the end of Q1 2014.
