Golfing Analysis Hardware / Software Application

I please need the following hardware/software analysis (which could consist of or include a mathematical model) developed for a golf-related application and device named a “Golf Grip Hand Structure Efficient Device” as follows:

As envisioned at this time, there will be two small wireless sensors, perhaps 9DOF absolute orientation sensors, one attached to the back side of each hand of a golfer, essentially opposite of yet equivalent to the palms of the hands.

These two sensors and the accompanying software would track the orientations of the hands, completely independently of each other and also as a function that compares their orientations relative to each other over the course of a golf swing.

The device will be utilized under two conditions. The first will be when there is the equivalent of a golf club/grip in hand, which provides a rigid common frame of reference running through both hands and for which the results will be considered baseline or reference information for a golfer. The second condition, which defines the name and use of the device, is when only the limbs of the hands are used in swinging and where the hands are formed into a gripping structure without any common reference to aid the golfer. The results will indicate a critical new golfing parameter known as the Golf Grip Hand Structure Efficiency Rating or Value for any given golfer.

A simplest user interface would only need to be a visual representation of a pair of hands basically centered on a screen, where the orientations of the hands are visually represented over the course of a golf swing. Mathematical information will also be provided as to the 3D orientations of the hands both independently and relative to each other with respect to time. An important optional feature of the application would be to create a tare or similar function that aligns the sensors in the same direction and essentially through the centers of the hands at the start of a golf swing (equivalent to the position and direction an actual golf club would have if in hand), which could make certain analyses more convenient and easier to comprehend.

While such a simple user interface would suffice at the start, a nice addition would be if a visual of an actual golf swing (or at the very least the hands in motion as such) could be provided in addition to or instead of the simplest interface described above. This would provide a better visualization and representation of exactly where in the swing the orientations of the hands are what they are and would have a much improved impact on the analysis of and learning via the application. Although a general simulated golf swing could be included that does not need to match that of the golfer particularly well, a highly skilled individual might ultimately be able to utilize the data from the sensors to much more accurately reconstruct the actual swings of individual golfers, which might greatly benefit the application as a whole.

The use of off-the-shelf hardware development sensors might wisely be used first to get an initial testing prototype in hand less expensively and more quickly. But even here, such devices can have varying specifications, so appropriate hardware knowledge to help choose the best sensors (based on the above description of operation) would seemingly be needed in order to best proceed. Certain decisions have not been made yet, such as whether the device will be a desktop or phone application in the end, and what is primarily needed first is an efficiently working and displayable prototype that can be developed in very short order and at minimal expense.

Hourly or project estimates can be considered. Thanks.
