RaonPeople "KakaoVX Golf Sensor Supply Resumes... Expansion of Order Volume"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] AI specialist company Raon People announced on the 19th that it has started supplying golf sensors and software algorithms to ‘KakaoVX,’ the second largest player in the domestic screen golf market.

A company official stated, “With the reopening of screen golf courses, we secured first-quarter orders for golf sensors from KakaoVX. The supply volume for the first quarter is expected to increase by more than 200% compared to the same period before the COVID-19 pandemic, which we anticipate will be a positive signal for sales growth this year.”

The golf sensors supplied by Raon People to KakaoVX incorporate various patents such as the ‘calibration system and method’ and the ‘rotation amount measuring device and method for a rotating body.’ They analyze screen golfers’ swings, speed, and club trajectories, and provide a unique algorithm that compares and links motion recognition differences with professionals’ movements, resulting in high customer satisfaction.

A company representative explained, “Raon People’s golf sensors are being applied to KakaoVX’s new screen golf courses. This will also act as a positive factor for KakaoVX’s entry into the domestic and international screen golf markets, which is now gaining momentum.” They added, “We will promptly respond to negotiations for additional supply volumes as well as various options.”

Meanwhile, KakaoVX lowered the entry age for golf by using the familiar image of Kakao characters in ‘Friends Screen,’ increasing accessibility for existing golfers, women, and beginners. Expanding its business scope, it offers various user-based services and events, including AI booking services and golf accessory businesses that span online and offline, rapidly rising to become the second largest company in the screen golf market share.
