New Coach's Eye Software From TechSmith
OKEMOS -- Okemos-based TechSmith Monday announced the launch of a new version of its sport analysis application Coach's Eye, Coach's Eye 3.0 for iOS and Android devices.
The release includes top user requests, including split screen video comparison and video-naming, along with new ways to explore content created by hundreds of thousands of Coach's Eye users worldwide.
Available today, Coach's Eye 3.0 makes it easier and faster than ever to record, analyze and improve performance. The Coach's Eye app links seamlessly to a device's camera, allowing coaches and athletes to record video footage of an athlete or team's movement or technique. The footage can then be reviewed, replayed in slow-motion and annotated on a mobile device; giving instant feedback and helping athletes improve their performance, faster.
Since its launch in November 2011, more than 9 million videos have been analyzed in the app, changing how people coach, train, teach and learn around the world.

"With the new features of Coach's Eye, we really wanted to compress the feedback loop," said Brooks Andrus, Coach's Eye product champion at TechSmith. "It's all about helping coaches and athletes get better, faster. The new UI puts recording video at the heart of the app, so a coach will never miss a moment of an athlete's performance. The new split screen comparison feature means more than one performance, or more than one athlete, can be analyzed and reviewed at once. This was a popular request from users, and will really help athletes perfect the tiniest nuances of their performance."
