SmartGrip
A golf grip training aid.
SmartGrip by Umbrella Sports
SmartGrip is a wearable golf grip training aid permitted under the official rules of golf with real-time grip position technology. It lights up when you are holding your golf club at the correct angle to give you positive feedback about how you're holding your golf club.
I helped out with the initial prototyping. It was shipped as a crowdfunding campaign. You can now buy one over here.
Satellite Game Camera
A way to study animals in remote places.
This proof-of-concept allows you to take an image of an animal.
Send metadata about the image to a website over a satellite connection.
Then you can choose to request a resized and compressed version of the original that is 50x smaller than the original file-size get sent to you on the website:
Once the website receives it, you can choose to restore and enhance some of the quality that has been lost through compressing and resizing the image.
You just click on the "Enhance" button and it attempts to restore some of the image on the front-end of the website without having the original image and have the ML model resize the image to being back to its original size.
This was only a brief overview of the proof-of-concept’s capabilities. The hardware schematic, firmware, and web application code are all freely available as open source. You can find them on GitHub, along with a more comprehensive explanation of how this approach aids in studying animals. The code is released under a commercially permissive license, allowing you to integrate it into proprietary projects and even pursue patents as part of a larger work.
The Green Box
A way to remotely control an outlet.
This award winning design for an electronic device can remotely turn an outlet on or off via a cellular connection built into the hardware. The hardware schematic and firmware are open source. You can find it all on GitHub, along with a more comprehensive explanation. The code is released under a commercially permissive license, allowing you to integrate it into proprietary projects and even pursue patents as part of a larger work.
Tip Up Trap Alert System
Don't miss your next catch when ice fishing!
This design for a tip up trap system allows you to know when your ice fishing traps get set off while you're in your ice shelter. The tip up sensors go on the tip up traps and the electronics shuttle tells you which trap(s) have been triggered and should be checked for a fish on the line.
