Growl’s interactive bag lets you punch your boxing trainer in the face
Learn to box without ever getting hit.
Growl is a startup launching a wall-mounted fitness device that uses a combination of projectors and sensors to give you a life-size boxing coach to train with. At the same time, its main screen, which is essentially half a punching bag that the company says offers similar resistance to the real thing, displays a life-size virtual trainer that’s more engaging.
