Chicken Head Tracking – Pennywhistle Productions
Pennywhistle ProductionsThanks for the Feature YouTube!Chickens have a great ability to keep their heads stable. Our bodies use a gyro-like mechanism in our ears which has 3 mutually orthogonal inertial measurement devices. Modern motion processors use something called an Inertial Measurment Unit (IMU). These devices provide movement data which can be used to compensate for the movement. Chickens apparently have the same type mechanism only with a higher update rate.*Update* The chickens were eaten by the family dog. WHOOPS! 
*Update #2* Sis and I are shooting a music video of her singing a song she performs often. It should be up within a week so subscribe if you’re interested.Out of the ~750 comments, at least 37 are “Your sister is hot”…….bunch of weirdos.

Images came from:particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and MarvelI forgot Einstein Online, and they called me out: http://www.einstein-online.infoAnd I forgot Physics World (dunno what I was thinking when I put together the extra dimensions bit). Steve Abel set me to rights (but made no demands): http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/print/403The talented dancers doubled as camera people, with some work by Neil Dixon. Stock footage is CERN’s.Will Barras is responsible for the killa beats:http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/~s9527813/And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap
