Hi, I think you want to repost on this thread: https://hackernews.hn/item?id=11012044

Big change since v2, congratulations. Any plans to commercialize? Would like to see this applied to athletic team performance monitoring.

Thanks! This is actually already available, and a demo of our new Gyroscope Pro offering, which is $7 a month and includes things like this new theme, custom domain name support (which is how I have it going to aprilzero.com), our healthkit iPhone app to power it, etc. Check it out at https://gyrosco.pe/

We want to build this as something that anyone can just go and sign up for and start using. I would love to get more athletes using this. We recently released a running app powered by the Gyroscope data — (see gyro.run) — and it's been really exciting to see people use it to share marathons, training, etc. We still don't have a good solution for things like gym training, which are hard to passively track, but that's something we're definitely thinking about.

Haven't signed up, but https://gyrosco.pe/features/helix/ indicates there's a "Pro" version.

The article has some pretty good details, and while speculative, second sourcing LTE modems would make a lot of sense, no? The comments seem to be missing the SIP[0] aspect of modern electronic device manufacturing which Apple and others are pursuing[1]... it allows for some "strange bedfellows" and would explain a joint TSMC / Intel solution.

Thanks for publishing. Did you look into generating JPG or PNG instead of SVG?

Yup it's actually trivial with Python.

I have not done it yet because (1) most browsers support SVG already, and (2) I'm hosting on App Engine (free) right now which has a lot of limitations :(

Thanks for the AMA. You haven't answered the hardware related questions in this thread yet, so I'll try: do you think you'll see the day when YC funds a hardware startup that develops custom ASICs or semi IP for licensing? If so, what type of startup would be a good fit for YC?

I predict that will happen in the non-distant future.

Just in case you haven't already heard of what the nice folks at Tessel are doing, this may be useful to you:

Author here. Tessel uses modified eLua, I want to use Node modules in vanilla Lua, so naturally that approach was not viable to me.

> it will be only practical to deploy in dense urban areas in my view

Docomo has an eye towards an initial roll-out in time for the 2020 Olympics, and the development of a 'phantom cell' user plane makes a lot of sense given the device density Tokyo. The MIMO beam forming looks like a huge challenge.

Glad to see Docomo moving the goal post forward, though!

Agreed, that is the perfect proving ground.

Really solid work, I was surprised to see how complete this is, especially compared to Blender. I need to render some scenes soon, importing existing OBJ's and adding new materials. I was going to be using Blender, I'll first give clara.io a try!

One question, sent a ticket already but wouldn't mind an HN bump... I couldn't get 'Render > Render Current Pass' menu option to show? Kinda miss that big green "render now" button.

Thanks for the positive feedback. We are pushing really hard on the features and also performance right now.

Sorry about the missing menu. We will have that menu back in the next week. :) Rendering options are still in flux as we technically haven't officially released that feature -- we've just soft launched it in a tentative state.

Right now you render via "Live Render > Fast Preview" in the viewport menu. Full information here:
