Hybrid updates

The updates are complete and ready to be installed on servers. I haven’t found any problems from testing I’ve done. If you want me to update your server, request this next time you make a server booking. Then I send your access details, I’ll include links to updated phone apps.

Updated Hybrid Instructions

I’ve reviewed and updated the Operator and Player instructions to ensure accurate and clear explanations for the latest versions. Download them from the same locations. The most significant changes are in the Operator instructions, especially relating to ball samples. The Player instructions only had minor changes.

 

Soon I’ll create a video explaining complete application from start to finish. It would be ideal for me to provide real casino recordings, but they are private so I’ll need to create a separate video.

 

Also there is a bug in the latest camera app (server-side). It is a simple bug to fix, although the programmer is away for a few days and will fix when he’s back. The bug caused a server CPU overload.

Hybrid Updates This Week

The Hybrid update for easier camera aiming are already available. They are already being used flawlessly. Soon the following Hybrid updates will also be available:

 

Camera stabilization: If the camera is body-worn, zooming long distances inevitably causes video shaking. So video stabilization is being implemented. It is almost done and should be ready in a day or so.

 

Quicker learning of ball deceleration rates, easier monitoring of deceleration rate changes, and easier monitoring of accuracy: This mod is already coded in a test program, and is being moved to the main Hybrid software today. In addition to higher accuracy, the mod allows players to better know if the ball is rolling too chaotically for early predictions. Specifically you will better know how early is too early. It’s especially useful for automated wheels where the ball deceleration is sometimes deliberately manipulated with magnets and air compressors.

 

These and recent mods means new camera users and teams can get started with very little training and practise. Again they’ll be ready for use in a day or so, but before official release I’ll need to update the instructions.

 

When it’s all ready, I’ll make another announcement.
