What it is

A technology platform for golf built around positioning, embedded electronics, telemetry and course infrastructure — engineered to measure the part of the shot nobody currently sees.

Launch monitors measure the first fraction of a second. Scorecards record the last. ARC3 is concerned with everything in between — the flight, the first bounce, the roll and the exact place the ball came to rest — measured by the course itself.

The stack

What sits in the system.

  1. Course infrastructure

    Anchor nodes distributed to give usable geometry down the length of a hole, engineered for weather, mowing and a full season outdoors.

  2. Ball electronics

    Embedded sensing that survives impact and fits inside the constraints of the object without changing how it behaves.

  3. Positioning engine

    Fixes from the anchor network combined with on-board inertial data to reconstruct a trajectory rather than extrapolate one.

  4. Shot record

    A structured, replayable account of the shot delivered while the player is still walking to it.

Open questions

What we are actually working out.

Stated as questions rather than claims. When we have answers worth publishing, we will publish them with the working shown.

  • What anchor geometry gives a usable fix along the length of a hole?

  • How much electronics can go inside the object before the object stops being itself?

  • Where does the position fix end and the reconstruction begin?
