We have just had the first morning of presentations with many interesting speakers on topics of particular interest to our elearning project. One speaker who is looking at asymmetry in riders with the next step (I hope) investigating ways to modify this or increase the rider's body awareness.
Have a look on the ISES website link and go to the confernece page to see the program.
We also had someone investigating the visual skills of elite vs amateur riders over jumps to see if we can eventually teach riders to judge take-off distance via a simulator. As Colleen told me when i suggested that this could be a great project earlier, the rider's head moves around a lot and they are still refining the mounting of the camera but it looks very interesting. They are using a similar technology to that used in market research where potential shoppers wear special glasses that register where their eyes look while they travel around a shop so the researchers can work out the best place to display their products so the customer will see them.
I'm off to a prac session now & hope to send some live video if not today them tomorrow.
Have a look at QIK.com my name for this site is jencar08. I will try to put a direct link to it here but try at this time tomorrow for some live feeds.
