What does this mean? • Pilots and judges and judges must have a good understanding of the rules
What does this mean? • Pilots and judges and judges must have a good understanding of the rules
What does this mean? • Pilots and judges and judges must have a good understanding of the rules • Pilots and judges must have the same understanding of the rules
What does this mean? • Pilots and judges and judges must have a good understanding of the rules • Pilots and judges must have the same understanding of the rules
This is a SUBJECTIVE sport! We must ensure that we do not use SUBJECTIVITY as an excuse for a lack of understanding!
Benefits of using 3-D graphicsin C/L Stunt Competitors: • A greater correlation between words and illustration
Benefits of using 3-D graphicsin C/L Stunt Competitors: • A greater correlation between words and illustration • WORDS create mental expectation

Benefits of using 3-D graphicsin C/L Stunt Competitors: • A greater correlation between words and illustration • WORDS create mental expectation • ILLUSTRATIONS create visual expectation • Conflict in expectations creates confusion
Benefits of using 3-D graphicsin C/L Stunt Judges: • Understanding of shape of manoeuvre on sphere as viewed from outside
Benefits of using 3-D graphicsin C/L Stunt Judges: • Understanding of shape of manoeuvre on sphere as viewed from outside Manoeuvres need to be flown accurately from pilot’s view. Judge must therefore correlate what is seen with what the pilot sees.
TECHNOLOGY The present: (Basically no technology!)
TECHNOLOGY The present: (Basically no technology!) • Competitor expectation conflicts with judging result:- has always existed.
TECHNOLOGY The FUTURE!
TECHNOLOGY The FUTURE! Although possible now….. Costs will be prohibitive.
TECHNOLOGY The present: • Conflict between mental expectation created by words, and visual expectation created by drawing:- has always existed
TECHNOLOGY The present: • Conflict between mental expectation created by words, and visual expectation created by drawing:- has always existed • Technology to address this conflict:- Affordable and available today
Use this technology effectively to minimise conflict • Create consistent mental & visual expectation for judge & competitor
Use this technology effectively to minimise conflict • Create consistent mental & visual expectation for judge & competitor • Provide consistent training tool to judge & competitor
Use this technology effectively to minimise conflict • Create consistent mental & visual expectation for judge & competitor • Provide consistent training tool to judge & competitor • Create consistent understanding of manoeuvre appearance on sphere
With 3-D graphics we can: • See how the manoeuvres fit the sphere • View the manoeuvres from any angle or position in the virtual world • Watch them being performed in real time
It should be dead easy…………. just like golf! All you basically have to do is hit a small white ball into 18 different holes……… How difficult can that be??
It is obviously important to know exactly how the manoeuvre shapes look, and how they will appear from the various angles. How do we achieve this??
Judges need a good understanding of the principles that govern our stunt hemisphere
