Triton 2


It is unlikely that you will see anyone with tracking gadgets. There are a variety of watches and fitness bracelets, including those for swimming. They allow you to record simple information, for example, how many times a swimmer covered the distance of the pool.

The creators of the TritonWear gadget from Toronto went much further - their new Triton 2 tracks 13 swimmer metrics at once and transmits them in real time for further analysis. The collected information will help both the athletes themselves to "work on mistakes" and the best cappers to issue high-quality forecasts.

The waterproof Triton 2 fits under the back of the swim cap and communicates with the coach's smartphone or tablet. As soon as the swimmer starts moving, the sensor turns on the measuring part (accelerometer and gyroscope) and starts tracking metrics. Among them: stroke type, average stroke rate, number and speed of strokes, distance covered in one stroke, time under water, number of breaths per unit of time or distance.

All data is transferred wirelessly to the iOS / Android app. Moreover, the array of information is processed by an algorithm based on artificial intelligence, in the development of which highly qualified trainers participated. As a result, the application provides recommendations for improving the athlete's performance and various analytical figures.

The coach can also record a video of the swim from his mobile device, which is then synchronized with the received data. This allows the athlete to look at himself from the outside and understand what he is doing wrong.

The system can also be used without the presence of the Internet in full offline. In such situations, the synchronization of the captured data with the cloud server will occur as soon as a stable connection appears.

The Triton 2 gadget is already available for order. The developers selected a subscription scheme as a charge of payment, which is $ 149 per year. An additional $ 39 activates the athlete's motion video analysis feature.

As for the number "2" in the name of the gadget - yes, it really speaks of the second generation of the device. According to the developers, the new product is 60 percent smaller, 70 percent lighter, its battery provides four times longer battery life, and the sensors have increased accuracy than its predecessor.

By the way, a similar product SwimBot, whose authors tried to raise funds through crowdfunding, has not yet reached the production stage.
