Connexa Reports Overwhelming Response to Request for Beta Testers of New Slinger AI Tennis App
December 06 2023 - 9:00AM
Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:CNXA) today confirmed that
following a very positive consumer response to its request for beta
testers for its Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven Slinger App for
tennis, that the initial roll-out of the app’s beta version will
start later this week. Roll-out will be staged over several days
with 250 tennis players per day being given free access to the App.
The Slinger App, powered by Gameface, provides
tennis players with access to analytics data through a sport
specific, automated AI platform that analyzes and extracts data
from uploaded player practice or match videos. Gameface’s core
analytic capabilities are delivered through a compatible single
camera or smart phone, which facilitates scalable solutions for the
tennis market without relying on specific hardware or camera
types.
“We are delighted with the response received to
date from tennis consumers wanting to become beta testers for the
new Slinger App. The Slinger App will provide tennis players with
data and analytics across both training and match play situations.
The Slinger App is designed to be used both as a stand-alone app or
in conjunction with a player using their Slinger Bag Launcher,”
commented Mike Ballardie, CEO of Connexa Sports Technologies.
The main challenge faced in developing an
analytics app for tennis involves building the technology to
recognize the many different and individual playing styles and
techniques used in today’s modern game. Over the past year,
significant testing across all varieties of playing styles along
with input from key tennis coaching minds, identified four
universal pillars that are universal, common traits on which all
players’ games are built, irrespective of style or technique.
These four critical pillars are: Hitting
Foundation, Shoulder Rotation;
Weight Drift; and Hitting
Contact. The Slinger App utilizes video-based AI
to analyze, measure and report scores for each critical pillar and
then links this to support the player with insights and
self-coaching tips in a very simple and effective, way.
Slinger App’s objective is to provide each
player with regular, meaningful, interesting, and actionable
insights to help improve their game and therefore derive maximum
satisfaction and enjoyment from time on the court. Like a fitness
app, the Slinger App is designed to encourage regular use to
monitor self-improvement progress.
Following completion of the beta testing, the
Slinger App will launch to the market in February 2024. Initially
users will be provided with a ‘freemium’ version with the plan to
commence its estimated $10 per month or $100 per annum subscription
service as new analytic features are added.
Ballardie continued, “Importantly the Slinger
App offers both iOS and Android users the opportunity to access the
ground-breaking tennis AI through their respective app stores. In
addition, every new Slinger Bag user will now download the Slinger
App to access the Slinger Bag Launcher user guide, FAQs and and
several hundred highly recommended practice videos. This will
support Slinger in accessing the Sports AI market, which was
recognized as being USD 2.1 billion in 2022 and that is expected to
grow at a CAGR of 30.10% from 2023-20301.”
