Customer Introduction

Active Mind Technology is a software development company and maker of GameGolf, a wearable golf shot-tracking system. The device uses GPS to track location, accelerometers to track swing motions and related information, and Near Field Communication (NFC) tags to identify golf clubs. The company needed help after early prototypes exhibited erratic behavior. 

Problem/Goal

• Erratic behavior in early prototypes causes inaccuracies in the data collected
  
  The company needs to ensure the accuracy and reliability of every measurement made by the golf device.

• Underperforming software contributes to inconsistent device behavior
  
  The device software should be stable and enhance the performance and reliability of the device.
• Lack of reliable way to test and provide software updates to the device
  
  There will be a robust and reliable testing methodology that can be used after every new software release to ensure ongoing product reliability.

Solution

The customer chose Voler Systems for this project due to its extensive expertise in developing and improving wearable device software and its demonstrated ability to devise innovative and effective testing methodologies.
