ye Real Pilots V//V's t' Virtual Pilots

Real-Pilots V//V's//Versus Virtual-Pilots , head2head

t'//the//ye stunts-pilots//stunt-pilots raced against their computer-generated opponents for 'ye//'the first time — @ a contest , which combined ::: 'ye//'the real , & , 'ye//'the `````````virtual"""" , @ 250 miles-per-hour

---

Using technology developped//develop'd//developed , in part , by a University-of-Nottingham's spin-out [[[[[[[-company-]]]]]] ,..... a//an air's-race//air-race @ sky-above-Spain , saw 2 stunts-pilots//stunt-pilots battling it out , with a `````````virtual"""" plane , which , they watched on screens in their own cockspits//cockpits

'ye//'the virtual airscraft//aircraft , was pilotted//piloted , by a computer's-gamer//computer-gamer , who did n'ever//nEver leave t'//the//ye ground , but , could likewise c//see t' relative location o'//of 'ye//'the real planes on his own computer-screens , as 'the trio swooped around each other , during 'the ````````` Sky Challenge """"

'ye//'the event pave t'//the//ye way 4//for massive on-line competitions , & , also demonstrating power & scope o'//of ye very latest @ GPS (---Global-Positionning-System---)

'ye//'the ````````` Sky Challenge """" was organnised//organised//organized up , by Air-Sports-Ltd , a NewZealand's company , which speciallises//specialises//specializes @ advanced-sports-TV-technology

'ye//'the technology , which made ````````` Sky Challenge """" possible , was supplied , by Geospatial-Research-Centre (---GRC---), a joint-venture , twixt//between University-of-Nottingham & University-of-Canterbury-in-New-Zealand & Canterbury-Development-Corporation

they were able2merge t'//the//ye electronnickally//electronniccally//electronnicly//electronically generated world , with real-world , using combination o'//of GPS & in-ertial// inErtial-navigation-system (---INS---).

Dr David Park , a University-of-Nottingham'S graduate , & , Chief-Executive-Officer (---CEO---) o'//of GRC , said :::

````````` We’ve been involved with the development of Sky Challenge since July 2007. Our role has been to develop a technology solution that can provide the position and orientation of each of the real aircraft, in real time. """"

````````` The high G-forces and extreme manoeuvres of the racing aerobatic aircraft make this a very challenging technical and operational problem. GRC is developing a solution for providing the position and orientation of the aircraft using a combination of satellite navigation and INS technology. """"

````````` The INS constantly tracks the position and orientation of the aircraft, while GPS signals are used to correct the INS errors — although getting a GPS signal is not always easy as the aircraft twists and turns through the sky. """"

'ye//'the result o'//of Sky-Challenge was ::: a narrow-victory 4//for 1 o' 'the real pilots — but , he was only 1.5-seconds-ahead o' his virtual-rival

'ye//'the GRC , 's been developping//develop'ing//developing a positionning//positioning-&-orientation-solution , called `````````POINT-RT"""" — optimised//optimized 4//for fast-moving & highly-dynamic air-sports — & , 's been looking forward 2//to realising commercial opportunities there4//there-for @ year-2009

Other potential applications o'//of 'ye//'the POINT-RT's hardware-&-software , being developped//develop'd//developed by 'ye//'the GRC , include :::

- tracking people @ buildings via shoe-based-sensors , & ,

- geo-referrencing//geo-referencing video-mapping systems @ cars , & ,

- real-time's thermal-mapping from aircraft.

founded @ year-2006 , 'ye//'the GRC , 's a NewZealand's-based company , providing research & consultancy & etc ...... @ fields o'//of ::: sensors & data-integration , w/ particular expertise @

- positionning//positioning & orientation

- image analysis

- data visuallisation//visualisation//visualization

- electronics

'ye//'the growing research-team includes ::: over 20 experienced scientists & engineers as-well-as PhD & graduate-students , able2support a range o'//of research & developments & commerciallisations//commercialisations//commercializations
