This
student examined the swinging stroke of golfers during early
evenings at a specific golfing range.
He identified that salary
men do this activity for releasing stress. Using the research
of the shifting
weight distribution of the body during the
swinging of a golf club, this student developed a ball cage
that
is controlled by the shifting weight of the person inside the
ball. At the moment before the ball
enters the range, climate-monitoring
technology captures data from the overhead weather pattern.
Proposing
that the driving range is embedded with electromagnetic technology,
the weather pattern
information is then transferred to information
that controls varying points of magnetic force on the
surface
of the park. An invisible topography is created that is perceived
only through varied magnetic
force felt through the friction
on the ball. Additional uses of electromagnetic technology
are proposed
in a monorail track system on the parameter of the
park. This returns the ball/cage and its operator to
the launching
pad. |
