On the court, in the pool, or out on the field. Such exuberance and energy packed in every stroke you pull. Each movement marks a dance on the court; a painting of grit and grace in your inexorable quest for perfection.

– PHOWM SPORTS

For all simplicity and complexity, PHOWM aims to record movement as a work of Art.

Bluetooth connects the sensor to the computer and data visualisation can be seen on screen.

An athlete’s movement, intangible energy that disappears as quickly as it generates, can thus be translated into and recorded as a wispy animation on screen.
