vPos

vPos is presenting a new range of products within 3D tracking and visualisation of air sports. It all started with gliders during the Club Class World Gliding Championships at Elverum, Norway in 2004, and will be introduced to the other air sports during 2006.

A small and ligthweight tracking unit, called vPtracker, specially designed for airsports, is carried on-board the glider, balloon, hangglider, paraglider or powered aircraft. The vPtracker transmits 3-dimensional position data to the vPserver which can be accessed from any PC connected to the Internet. The SilentWings Viewer application running on a PC with a suitable graphics card accesses the vPserver and visualises the flight in real-time or post-time.

The vPos system has been demonstrated at several international glider competitions during 2004 and 2005, and vPtrackers will be available for purchase in april 2006.
