store. phantom.in screen protectors out there
0:08
as well as hyperx all right guys welcome to the i1
0:12
Biometrics Booth where we will be checking out their Vector mouth guard
0:15
you may be wondering why the heck I'm covering a mouth guard I find the
0:19
integration of Technology into everyday things fascinating and concussive
0:23
injuries are an issue that is very close to my heart as I come from a heavy Sports background I even had the chance
0:28
to try it out myself all right guys so we walked away from one of their booths with the mouth guard that was actually
0:32
synced to the computer so I'm nervously going to have Burl tackle me down right
0:36
now and we're going to see what the metrics are for me getting tackled by Burl give me one
0:46
moment
0:52
finish well that was exciting I think we startled a few people on the show floor
0:57
anyways the software for the consumer version will log all of your game
1:00
Collision data until you sync it back up when you're at home once you sync your
1:04
unit your computer will be able to view all of the data from linear acceleration
1:08
to rotational acceleration to head injury Criterion as you can see based on
1:13
the model on the screen when Nick Van burkel hit me I tucked my head down to
1:17
the side which resulted in my brain impacting the other side of my skull it
1:21
wasn't a very heavy impact because it wasn't a direct hit to the skull but the
1:25
data is logged for referential reasons regardless safety in sports is
1:28
incredibly important and this data can tell you more than just head injury
1:32
information a coach or parent would be able to use this data to easily identify
1:36
bad habits like leading into a tackle with your helmet in football and then
1:39
address that issue later on all right guys hopefully you found this interesting let me know in the comments
