Objectives

• Deliver a premium, durable smart basketball with embedded sensing that captures reliable biomechanical and performance data (shot arc, spin, release, dribble metrics).

• Create a companion platform (mobile + cloud) that translates raw metrics into clear, motivating insights, personalized coaching, and visually compelling progress narratives.

• Forge a brand language and product experience that feels sophisticated, aspirational, and accessible — appealing to athletes, coaches, lifestyle users, and content creators.

• Build go-to-market strategies that prioritize user adoption, retention, and community growth through seamless onboarding, social sharing features, and strategic partnerships.

Core Product Principles

• Elegance in engineering: hardware must be robust and playable first — tech that disappears into the feel of the ball.

• Clarity in insight: analytics should be actionable and human-centered, framed as guidance not overload.

• Emotional design: moments of feedback and discovery should delight and inspire continued play.

• Scalability: architecture designed for secure data flow, modular feature growth, and international distribution.

Key Features (MVP)

• Embedded sensors with high-fidelity capture of shot mechanics and dribble dynamics.

• Real-time haptic and visual feedback modes that unobtrusively augment practice.

• Auto-capture sessions with contextual tagging (shot drills, live games, training modes).
