SPORTS TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Roughly 30 million young athletes participate in competitive sports each year in the United States. Unfortunately, sports-related injuries will impact approximately 90% of those athletes (Johns Hopkins Medicine, 2019). In addition, the recovery process varies due to the ever-changing factors of each athlete and their unique anatomical attributes. Therefore, there is an opportunity to improve the recovery process and provide customizable elements to the athlete with emerging technology. This investigation explores how the design of mixed reality experiences can assist injured athletes through their recovery process through mixed reality feedback on physical attributes of their injury and customized information.
