BOWdometer and the Future of Sports, a Candid Conversation
This week we had a chance to chat live, candidly with a local radio station, 570 News, as part of their Tech Spotlight. We chatted about our BOWdometer Open Platform, our new Artemis integration, the Tech and Archery scene in Kitchener-Waterloo, where our team is based, and what IMU sensor technology means to sports analytics.
