Commercial implementation
WhirledPiece
Version 1.0 released September 9, 2026. Available now on the App Store.
Measure impulsive acoustic events on a phone while retaining a correctable record under range noise and reverberation. Derive paper-target practice scores from photographs with reviewable alignment and marks.
A signal-processing frontend locates acoustic onset. An on-device classifier reviews candidate events while preserving their timestamps. The image path maps target photographs into physical coordinates for scoring. Device and web interfaces retain corrections and model provenance.
Published measurements cover specific devices, recordings, and range conditions. They do not establish performance in other environments. Technical notes and measurement context.
This released implementation demonstrates event timing, visual measurement, and review workflows. Adaptation to a new sensor or operating environment requires separate integration and validation.
Execution and data boundaries
- WhirledPiece
- Acoustic inference runs on the device. Saved recordings, target photos, and review data synchronize to cloud services when connected. See the product privacy policy.
- Project work
- Execution environment, data flows, external services, and acceptance criteria are specified for the engagement. Commercial product configurations do not define a customer project's deployment.
Contracting and technical inquiries
Feasibility studies, bounded prototypes, evaluation work, and software integration. Deliverables, execution environment, data handling, and acceptance criteria are defined per engagement.
