NEW YORK, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Basketball, as one of the world’s most widely
played sports, continues to evolve across competition levels, participation scale,
and training sophistication. From professional leagues to grassroots programs and
individual players, the sport has developed into a global ecosystem that is constantly
pushing performance boundaries.

LUMISTAR CARRY

In parallel, basketball training methodologies have evolved significantly, becoming
more systematic, data-informed, and diverse. These advancements have played a key
role in improving performance across all levels of the sport.

At the same time, improvements in training have further accelerated the development
of basketball itself. As athletes train more efficiently and precisely, the game
continues to advance in speed and complexity, forming a continuous cycle of mutual
reinforcement between the sport and its training systems.

However, within this cycle lies a persistent structural constraint: unequal access
to high-quality training resources and limited scalability of effective training
environments.

In most real-world settings, sustained high-level training still depends heavily
on external support, including coaches, rebound partners, and fully equipped facilities.
As a result, training quality is often shaped by available resources rather than
fully controlled by the individual.

This dependency creates a ceiling on training efficiency and accessibility, limiting
the scalability of modern training methods and ultimately constraining the pace 
at which basketball training can evolve alongside the sport itself.

**CARRY LAUNCHES ON KICKSTARTER**

Against this backdrop, **LUMISTAR** today announced the official launch of **CARRY**
on Kickstarter, marking the global debut of its AI-powered basketball training system.

**CARRY** is now live on Kickstarter with early-backer pricing starting at US$2,499,
ahead of its planned retail price of US$4,999. Initial deliveries are expected to
begin in Q4 2026.

**THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND CARRY**

**CARRY** is designed to make high-intensity basketball training more accessible
through real-time, vision-driven interaction.

Unlike traditional shooting machines that operate on fixed trajectories, **CARRY**
integrates a quad-camera 4K vision system powered by a high-performance chip. This
enables continuous tracking of player movement during training sessions, allowing
the system to adjust passing direction and timing dynamically. It also responds 
to gesture-based inputs for drill control.

The system is designed to significantly increase training efficiency. According 
to **LUMISTAR**, completing 500 game-realistic shots can be reduced from approximately
four hours in traditional setups to around 45 minutes using **CARRY**.

In addition, **CARRY** incorporates an AI Coach Report that processes more than 
20 performance metrics, including shooting consistency, movement efficiency, release
stability, and shot distribution patterns, translating them into structured feedback
for skill development.

The system is portable and can be deployed in approximately 60 seconds, allowing
structured training in a wide range of environments.

**EARLY VALIDATION**

**CARRY** underwent early testing with more than 300 users and professional athletes,
including WNBA Champion Aerial Powers and former NBA player Derrick Brown, who provided
feedback on its tracking and passing performance during training sessions.

The system made its public debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where live demonstrations
attracted attention from attendees and media outlets including CNET, Tom’s Guide,
and FOX5 Las Vegas.

Following CES, **LUMISTAR** hosted a live on-court experience session in Los Angeles,
where **CARRY** was tested in real training environments by basketball creators,
coaches, and athletes.

Participants included NBA Skills Trainer Sean Marshall, former Drew League MVP Frank
Nitty, and streetball legend Bone Collector.

**LOOKING AHEAD**

The Kickstarter campaign marks the first opportunity for basketball players and 
early adopters worldwide to access and support **CARRY** as it begins its global
rollout.

**LUMISTAR** stated that it sees ongoing advancements in AI and robotics as contributing
to new approaches in sports training, with the potential to expand access to structured
practice for athletes at different levels.
