Interactive Sports Technologies is planning to launch the new High Definition Golf simulator models that have curved screens, wider field of view and high quality graphics at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show.

The company explained that the simulator utilizes advanced computer vision technology to provide the most comprehensive and precise shot analysis. The new HD Golf simulators feature highly accurate ball and club tracking and measurement systems, realistic golf courses and intuitive easy-to-use touchscreen interfaces that would make them highly preferable to PGA Tour pros, top golf instructors and golf equipment manufacturers.

The simulator is able to create/visualize life-like golf courses by leveraging high resolution digital images, satellite data and geophysical data while building the 3D models of golf courses. The simulators are packed with 3D models of world’s renowned golf courses including Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, Kiawah Island, Spyglass, Doral, Harbourtown, Troon North, Bethpage Black, Banff Springs and many others.

Also available with the HD Golf simulators are a large compliment of options such as Professional Golf Instruction Studio, automated video swing analysis featuring Jim McLean’s 8-Step swing system, a complete suite of tools for club fitting and equipment comparison as well as live Internet play featuring real-time audio and video.
