File: the smartphone/tablet is placed on the ground. The speed is measured from a slow-motion video recording of the pitch. ***** SPEEDUP Live ***** The SPEEDUP Live technology may be used to broadcast your speed measurements in real time to multiple devices (TV, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). After throwing the ball, the speed appears instantaneously on the SPEEDUP Baseball Live web interface as well as the SPEEDUP Live dashboard located within the SPEEDUP Baseball app. Only users who have received your SPEEDUP Live code are entitled to watch your speed.

For each speed measurement, the following information is provided : - Date of measurement - The speed of the ball relative to the ground - An image showing the trajectory of the ball - 3D and 2D views of the ball trajectory In the 'My Speedup' section of the SPEEDUP Live web interface, the trajectories of the balls may also be visualized in three dimensions. Besides its fun aspect, a 3D visualization may also bring valuable information about the quality of your pitch. ***** SPEEDUP Groups ***** A SPEEDUP Group is a community of baseball enthusiasts who wish to share their passion for the game with each other. Whether you are an individual, a baseball association, a sport retailer or a baseball coach, SPEEDUP Groups can help you build a brand new community or grow an existing one. ***** SPEEDUP Hot Spots ***** A SPEEDUP Hot Spot is a place where users of the SPEEDUP app gather in order to practice and/or take part in a speed challenge. ***** SPEEDUP Motion Tracker ***** SPEEDUP Motion Tracker allows for pitching motion analysis by combining information from two devices while the pitcher is throwing the ball. One device is used for generating a 3D trajectory of the ball from which the speed, the pitch angle and the rotation speed of the ball (available in a subsequent version) will be extracted. The second device is used for taking a video of the pitcher while throwing the ball. Pitching motion analysis is performed by estimating the pitcher's body pose.
