Chicken Head Tracking - Smarter Every Day

Post to your facebook -- Pennywhistle Productions/Smarter Every Day Chickens have a great ability to keep their heads stable. Our bodies use a gyro-like mechanism in our ears which has 3 mutually orthogonal inertial measurement devices. Modern motion processors use something called an Inertial Measurment Unit (IMU). These devices provide movement data which can be used to compensate for the movement. Chickens apparently have the same type mechanism only with a higher update rate. *Update* The chickens were eaten by the family dog. WHOOPS! :( *Update #2* Sis and I are shot a music video. If you’re interested search for “Briley brand new key“ *Update #3* Currently under non-exclusive license to be played on Fuji-TV in Japan. Ha Ha. Who would have thought? *Update #4* July 10th, 2009 1 MILLION HITS Woo Hoo! * Update #5 Sep 25th 2013 This idea was used in a commercial by Mercedes: “Mercedes-Benz TV: MAGIC BODY CONTROL TV commercial “ ~~~~~~~~ German / Deutsch courtesy
