Editor's Notes

  1. Umpiring, use data unlike other sportsOn boat displaysText and buttons for filing protests and getting penalties (slide)Lights Limit distancePenalty Booth and On-Water (slide)Booth: Objective determinationsOverlap (slide)Zone entry (slide)OCS (slide)Limit violations (slide)Penalty payback (slide)On-Water: Subjective determinationsRoom and opportunityAvoiding collisionPenalties, penalty lineVery different review sessions with umpiresNo dispute about the factsSomebody “owns” the event very quickly, and nearly always in good cheer.Overriding philosophy system makes recommendationsOfficials make determinationsNo redress, no appealData Philosophy with respect to teamsDon’t remove any requirement for sailing skillsSailors get no data, just notice of penalties, penalty fulfillment, OCS and clear start.No overlap statusNo zone entryNo precise mark or startline locationsAC45’sDistance to limit in meters and flashing light (slides)Text display of protests, course changes, penalties (slide)Protest buttonAC72’sData interface for protests/penalties, teams own UIData output for vertices of limit polygon3 boatlength position of marks and signal boat
  2. Data Philosophy with respect to teamsAC45’sDistance to limit in meters and flashing light (slides)Text display of protests, course changes, penalties (slide)Protest buttonAC72’sData interface for protests/penalties, teams own UIData output for vertices of limit polygon10m position of marks and signal boatData Philosophy with respect to publicOpen data, free to all, available now on website.Free live data during each eventTested during PlymouthAvailable publicly for San DiegoRecent trend with major sportsMLB pitch dataNASCAR intentionsTeams response to public data interestingPrevious cups, encrypted data, teams worried that another team has accessPublic data, teams don’t worry about other teams having inside accessWell funded and poorly funded teams both prefer this approach
  3. Differences between Augmented Reality and Virtual RealityLiveline, Augmented Reality (slide)Strengths, see the real video, real boats, real venue, wind on water etcDisadvantage, can only see out of helicopter cameraDifficult part, graphics have to be inserted very very accuratelyVirtual Eye, Virtual Reality (slide)Strengths can see anything from anywhereDisadvantage, can’t see the real boats and sailorsDifficult part, have to render everything, boats, water, shorelineWe provide the data to Virtual Eye, Ian Taylor’s company
