vPos - Realtime presentation of gliding

[Jan Olav Endrerud]

Hello gliding world !

Please visit http://www.vpos.no for a presentation of the vPos system
- a impressive new technology that amazes pilots, crews and spectators
at the 3rd Club Class World gliding Championship currently beeing held
at Elverum, Norway. 15-20 gliders are equipped with the vPos Tracker
each day.

The vPos system brings realtime 3D video simulation of gliders in the
air, using an advanced combination of positioning technology, high
resolution terrain models and advanced gliding simuation. This means
that the public can watch gliders fly REALTIME in the magnificent
norwegian mountains.

We believe this will revolutionize the sport of gliding - for the
first time we are able to bring high quality REALTIME action from a
gliding competition to spectators, crews and the media.

Visit our web page http://www.vpos.no to see images and download
videoclips from the vPos system.

This is seriously cool!

Is the GPRS network built out enough in the USA for this to be practical?

I can't remember how many times I've waited with a worried group of pilots
for an overdue pilot to report in. So far, they've all been OK. vPos would
sure make those waits more enjoyable.
