Real-time visual feedback in swimming – FORM Swim Goggles (2)

The partner sells smart swim goggles. The goggles measure several variables such as stroke, swim speed, and heart rate, and project the information into the goggle lens to provide real-time feedback to the swimmer. The challenge the partner faces is to scientifically validate the instrumentation and application of the goggles to assisting swimmers in optimizing their training. The results of this project will aim to add credibility to the activity metrics recorded and displayed in the FORM goggles. This project will also showcase the technological advancements made in swimming technology via the FORM goggles and propose a more efficient way of swim training. Additionally, this project will reveal areas of refinement to the FORM goggles especially in consideration of recreational swimmers. The results of this project will provide a tangible assessment of the FORM goggles capabilities and usability. This will be important information for investors and consumers and can result in increased funds to the company and increased Form Athletica Inc. memberships sold. There are numerous activity trackers used in swimming today, but few real-time trackers such as the FORM goggles. This project can thus provide a baseline to compare FORM goggles against alternative activity trackers for swimming.
