LISBON, Portugal, Nov. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Hole19 (www.hole19golf.com), a company that produces a multi-functional golf app with over 1.3M registered users, announce a new In-Round Augmented Reality (AR) feature which is available to iOS users.
With this Premium launch, golfers from around the world can use their smartphone camera to enjoy a truly immersive 360° golfing experience and the ability to determine the correct line for their next shot, irrespective of course position. As well as providing an accurate point of reference towards the green ahead, the feature also provides accurate GPS distances to the front, middle and back of the green on more than 42,000 mapped courses throughout the world.
Hole19 CEO Anthony Douglas said of the launch, “We are extremely excited about the possibilities that AR technology brings to golfers. It’s still early days, but the first signs of this technology are promising and this functionality will be extremely useful for golfers that are facing blind shots. It’s all about giving golfers confidence in their decisions.”
Hole19 believes that the introduction of AR helps bring another dimension to a golf app already filled with many game-enhancing features and this latest innovation will, at the same time, aid each member of an ever-growing community in their quest to play better golf.
