Play Golf with the Champs
Golf Launchpad Tour for Game Consoles and
Television Set-top Boxes
New, low-profile design, wireless remote caddy and enhanced
signal processing provide ultimate gaming experience.
The new Golf Launchpad Tour allows users to play along with their favorite golfers
during televised tournaments.
Golf Launchpad Tour is a unique golf simulation input device that allows users of all
ages to play golf in the convenience of their home, with their own clubs. Not only is
the golf Launchpad Tour available for use with PC, Mac and PlayStation 2 systems,
like the original, but now users can also tee-off on Sony’s PlayStation 3 and
television set-top boxes.
Golf Launchpad Tour combines Electric Spin’s ultra realistic golf simulation
technology, with XTVReady™ technology from NDS to create the ultimate virtual
golf experience. XTVReady is a software module embedded within the world’s
leading DVR set-top boxes to enable access to third party peripheral devices, such
as the Golf Launchpad Tour, via the USB port on set-top boxes. Until now, golf on a
set-top box has been a limited 2-D experience, but with the Golf Launchpad/XTV
Experience it becomes an immersive, video enhanced realistic golf experience.

This product will enhance the overall user experience and change the way golfers
and gamers interact with their televisions.
While watching a televised golf event, consumers will soon be able to use the Golf
Launchpad/XTV™ Experience to play and compete, with their own clubs, on the
same course and at the same time as the pros.
"As an avid golfer, I find Golf Launchpad Tour's new design very appealing,” said
NDS Vice President of Interactive TV Jesper Knuttson. ”Golf Launchpad Tour
combined with what we are doing together with Live Virtual Golf is going to be very
exciting,"
Golf Launchpad Tour measures user’s swings (clubhead speed, path and angle) and
translates it into information that EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour software
translates on-screen with breathtaking realism and accuracy. Now, with a
processor that's four-times faster than the original, gameplay with the Golf
Launchpad Tour is truly outstanding. Not only is the Tiger Woods PGA Tour
experience enhanced with the Golf Launchpad Tour, but so is the swing analyzer,
with its increased accuracy and 3D shot visualization.
Golf Launchpad Tour will be available in Switzerland and Europe through premier
electronics and golf retailers.
