Taking The Game
To Your Living Room<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Nova by Open Launch is an affordable golf launch monitor for the indoor golf simulator home market. A launch monitor is a device that measures the initial flight of the golf ball and sends that information into a video game. Nova utilizes cameras and radars in a compact, novel form factor. Many consumers and golf simulation buying guides recommend against radar measurement indoors because of interference and a minimum room size of 6m\/18ft. Acconeer’s A121 sensors provide high quality radar measurements without custom room construction. The A121 radar sensor allows Nova to have no exposed controls, buttons, or switches while allowing in-game golf aim, menu operation, and shot adjustments. A121 can also provide swing feedback and metrics to users. The radars’ measurements validate golf shot data accuracy, ensuring user satisfaction and trust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bring The Links To Your Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nova uses two Acconeer A121 radar modules, one for its user interface and one for swing measurements. Bringing tour-level insight into your home practice with advanced Acconeer radar tracking, the gold standard for understanding true ball flight and club performance. Radar technology doesn\u2019t guess what happens after impact; it measures it. By continuously tracking both the club and the ball through motion, radar reveals the full story of every swing, from the moment the club accelerates to the ball\u2019s initial launch and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike camera-only systems that rely on frozen snapshots at impact and heavy visual assumptions, radar captures what truly defines a golf shot: how the ball behaves after it leaves the face. Speed, launch, spin, and trajectory are derived from real movement through space, not estimates built from a single moment in time. That means the data reflects real physics, not ideal conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
