Anatomically correct 3d mapping: Introducing the Tactical Frog
30 minute Lecture|Phil Underwood
Abstract
Surveying caves is tedious - what if you could just wander around and your helmet creates the map for you? Phil Underwood (creator of the Shetland Attack Pony) introduces his newest creation, the Tactical Frog. This is a helmet mounted cave scanner, which allows no fuss cave mapping. He also discusses how to enhance the accuracy using a Shetland Attack Pony (other surveying tools are available).
