- The page separates seam-based surface tracking from movement-based spin inference and says neither method has been field-validated.
Field notes
The proposed setup asks users to mount the phone at release height, provide a sideways view of the ball, and enter camera placement before recording. The page distinguishes visible seam or mark tracking from a flight-model estimate based on movement, and notes that lighting, blur, calibration, and visible detail can affect whether a result is produced. Its displayed interface is a simulator capture, not a demonstration with measured pitches.
