A developer and Frisbee fan turned AirPods into a flying-disc stat tracker, using motion sensors to measure throws in a clever demonstration of what Apple's earbuds can do beyond playing audio.
As of July 23, Kinapod Disc is available in early access through Apple's TestFlight.
Kinapod Disc turns AirPods motion data into throw statisticsKinapod Disc receives motion data from the AirPod while the disc is in flight.
Release speed and airborne time are estimates derived from the motion data rather than certified measurements.
Kinapod Disc can also call out session and personal records, create shareable summaries, and export sessions to Strava.
