Sparrowscope

An early test video

You might enjoy this little clip I filmed from the skies, one of the first times I attached an iPod Touch to a kite line. I used a 4th generation iPod, hence the poor video quality—the new ones are much better.

Anthony and Mai, my former lab mates from my grad school days, took some pictures of the Sparrowscope while it was filming them. The movie climax is definitely when Anthony lies down on the grass and waves.

Alright. I’ll concede that this isn’t the most exciting video on the Internet. My next video will be more technical—a test of some circuitry and code that demonstrates how the Sparrowscope is controlled by a smart phone (Edit: that’s online now, you can view it here).
