airlogOne collects orientation data.
Once attached to the skydivers body, we can analyze the skydivers motion and its effects on the flight characteristics
MotionView is a new panel on the TrackView page for post-jump flight analysis. Its the first time, we can see how changing body position (“attitude”) results in different speed, sink, glide etc
Fundamental is the truemove* technology built-in into the airlogOne: an “Attitude and Heading Reference System” usually only found in commercial and military aircraft for automatic guidance systems.
Why is it so helpful for skydivers also? Skydivers don’t fly like a rocket – straight forward: Instead, we turn, tumble, headover and more. There have been altitracker with accelerometers and gyroscopes before, but -since the weird motions in the air- the coordinate system of the device changes with every arm or body movement. The collected data is simply useless, since we don’t know why the values change – just a turn or an outside impact?
That’s different with airlogOne: we’re collecting orientation and acceleration data, which means we can convert the sampled data into meaningful world coordinates.
This is one effect.
The other is, if we mount the device at a fixed position and angle on your body, we can track your body attitude in the air together with all the GPS data like position, speed, sink, etc.
This wasn’t possible before and MotionView is the first attempt to present this valuable information to you, the competition skydiver.
Analyze and improve your moves.
This is the next big thing: the advent of data-driven training with airlogOne.
(MotionView is just the beginning. We’re still in beta and improve regularly)
