Chicken Head Tracking

Box

Alright, maybe this isn't new to you country folks but this is amazing stuff to me.

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.

Epic.

I thought this thread was going to be about tracking crack-whores or something.
