FOCAL Point: Utilizing Python, R, and Shiny to Capture, Process, and Visualize Motion
summary
A golf R&D pipeline captures club motion with focal motion capture, producing about 40,000 data points per swing and a 75,000-swing archive; Python scripts (running inside the capture software, using OpenCV) convert raw marker tracks to JSON, feed a cloud relational DB and physics models, and expose Plumber APIs. R and Python + R + Shiny power dashboards, parallel time-series cleaning, SPM statistics (finding no significant shaft difference at impact in one test), and virtual player simulations that successfully generate shaft recommendations.
