asensei offers "Kinetic Capture" technology royalty free to athletic wear brands with smart apparel ambitions.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, September 10, 2017 - Today, asensei, Inc., a Connected Coaching (TM) company specializing in digital sports coaching and smart apparel technology, announced that they are making their Kinetic Capture (TM) technology available royalty-free to any sports or athletic wear manufacturer who wishes to accelerate their smart apparel strategy. With asensei, manufacturers can differentiate their apparel by offering their customers coaching in their favorite sports, from their favorite athletes and coaches, wearing their favorite sports wear.
Kinetic Capture brings motion capture technology and detailed performance analysis previously limited to elite athletes with teams of specialists, and makes it available to anyone who can pull on a shirt or shorts. A sensor design that can be incorporated throughout athletic wear translates an athlete's posture and movement into coaching insights. In real-time, asensei uses those insights to coach corrections, all the while guiding and monitoring an athlete as they follow coaching programs from world class athletes and coaches.
Of the decision to make Kinetic Capture technology royalty-free to athletic wear brands, asensei CEO Steven Webster said, "As a kid, when I pulled on a soccer shirt with the number 10, I wanted to play like Pele. When I put on my hockey shirt with the number 99 I wanted to play like Gretzky. Today, apparel brands make apparel that we want to wear, endorsed by athletes we want to play like or by teams that we dream to play for. By offering our Kinetic Capture technology royalty-free to these brands, we get to to the future faster together - a future where we no longer train like our idols, but train with them."
-
Apparel brands can work collaboratively with asensei to bring clothing and coaching content to market in the sports and categories that matter to them.
-
Opportunities are available for exclusive rights to individual sports or categories.
