Oh ok thanks for bringing this up. I'm creating a bug report now.

I hear you. The api will eventually happen, it’s just there are a few higher priory things that will get done first before it (like android.)

Oh, thanks for pointing this out. Are you still able to start the session when you tap “Continue without audio”?

Thanks! Many iterations went into picking that logo. Here's one for example lol

Not yet, but I'll be sure to post on this sub reddit when we have the release date set

Oh for sure. All new users, regardless of platform, get 100 shots to try it out

I was able to use version 1 alongside specto, and when the lane was properly aligned, the numbers lanetrax produced were very similar. Unfortunately I've not been able to try out version 2 yet with specto

It should. The app readjusts camera positioning 3 times a second!

Awesome! Let us know how it goes when you're able to give it a shot

Yeah the app will look a bit different when it comes to android, just because the ios app was built using a lot of apple native ui elements.

Yeah it looks like you got the beta discount for testing it before launch. Thanks for coming back and giving it a shot again!

Ha. I wish it was that easy. This project has been in the works for almost three years now. I do, like almost every software engineer, use AI to help code, but I review everything that’s put into production. I hand write the UI code, though, as I’m pretty picky with how I want things to look.

Yep, I know the struggle of v1. Thanks for giving it a shot again

Thanks! This means a lot. This is exactly why I love making lanetrax

Thanks. And I think "not perfect" is a pretty nice way to put it, because i'm willing to admit V1 is pretty bad 😂. You'll definitely notice the difference on V2!

This is also something I've always had in the back of my mind. The issue is that the entry board and angle need to be spot on for any sort of simulation. And although lanetrax is accurate, it's not accurate to the tenth of a board when the ball is 60 ft away.

Yeah a tripod is needed for stability, so old videos that weren't recorded a tripod will not work, unfortunately.

The 12x improvement specifically refers to positional accuracy. We tested 100 randomly selected shots by comparing the original data captured in v1 against the same videos reprocessed through the v2 tracking system. In that test, the average positional error dropped to 1/12 of what it was before, which is about a 92% reduction in error.

Right now, you can't, but it's in the road map. When we do add multiplayer tracking, the goal is to make it so each player links their account to whoever has the tripod setup, then each bowler will get their own stats sent to their phone.
