About

Hello website visitor,


My name is Richard Overkamp.

The simmoves display I developed is a complete new design of display & software for badminton footwork trainig. It is based on experience and feedback of clubtrainers who used my previously developed LED display & software. Several early on-court tests were done with the 2019/2020 prototypes of RJ20 display and software.

Here you can read about the RJ20 development history.
