2. my .net idea is...
a Google Glass based sports training product that gives
sportsmen actionable information about improving
their game during practice. The product makes elite-
level performance training accessible to anyone
without having the need to access an expert coach
SPORTSWARE
3. The Problem
millions of aspiring sportsmen around the world don't
have access to elite-level sports performance training
because top-notch coaches are a scarce resource
SPORTSWARE
4. The Solution
SportsWare provides sportsmen real-time, actionable
advice about possible actions, strategies, and outcomes
during a sparring game.
For example, a golf player is given a potential range of
shots that maximize his pay-off. Insights are drawn from a
vast data set that is personalized to the player based on
his historical performance data, and where he is in the
learning curve.

8. Feasibility
All sports are based on a finite set of rules such that
the possible outcomes at any given point are finite
Rule based problem sets lend themselves well to
Machine Learning (ML)
There exists robust open source technologies to
solve ML, Computer Vision, and Big Data problems. Ex.
MLOSS, Open CV, Mahout & R
Sports data can be purchased from associations
such as the PGA, WGA, SRI, etc.

9. Can be done
Google Glass will be available in 1-2 years from now. It
has a fairly powerful SDK on which to build apps on
There are algorithms that can simulate near perfect
datasets based on the availability of finite training data
In short, building this product is very feasible!
