Inspiration

We want to make hockey more accessible and safer to anyone by developing hardware and software that develop positive safety habits.

What it does

This is a piece of hardware that clips onto a hockey helmet and warns the user when they are looking past a certain threshold angle for some amount of time.

How we built it

This project uses advanced mathematical methods to derive an accurate position of a player's head from cheap, inaccurate hardware. This is done in Python using Numpy.

Challenges we ran into

We had trouble with serial data parsing and with implementing some advanced mathematics.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our visualizations and accuracy of derivations.

What we learned

We learned extensively about Quaternion weighted averaging and Extended Kalman Filters.
