Sony unveils tennis racket sensor, so you can track your swing over Bluetooth
1/7/2014 2:00:00 AM

And you thought wearables only applied to your wrist.

Sony announced at CES 2014 - between a bevy of 4K television announcements - a whacky Tennis Sensor that can improve your swing.

It simply latches on to the bottom of your tennis racket, almost inconspicuously, to stream data over to your smartphone over Bluetooth. An app will tell you how fast the ball is traveling thanks to vibration and motion sensors, what kind of swing you performed, the level of spin you applied to the ball, and a breakdown of the performance of your swing.

For now, Sony's Tennis Sensor is a concept and not going on sale anytime soon. But hey, it leads the way for future gadgets in an era where even your tennis racket has become "smart".
