Foot phone thoughts. A golf ball could be used to train dialing muscle memory.
Audio feedback on how your foot plants and releases when running or high jumping or dunking or spiking could be really useful. When switching to a rigid fork and trying to corner on the mountain bike nearly as fast as with a suspension fork, it helped a lot to focus on acting to make the tires sound similar as they travel through the corner - yes, mountain biking is an instrumental activity! Anyway closing the audio feedback loop for a human can eliminate the need for a lot of graphs and math. There are a lot of subtle things that happen at the foot ground interface that could be shared and duplicated from one person to another with the statement: "make it sound a bit more like this." If you tie the fore and aft direction of the gravity vector to say... pitch, one ought to be able hear how well the player is rolling (camming) on their foot to smoothly translate forward energy into upward motion. As natural elastic frequencies of legs are more widely known, the foot phone could be used as a diagnostic tool to improve distance running times... The fact that a cell phone is already wireless makes machine washable data acquisition within reach for ordinary people especially if the human ear is the primary target for the data. A key will be choosing how the sound changes as the g vector swings grows... We really need a handset for this and to make dialing not tedious. If that pin ball returns to center automatically each time it touches two points of the cradle this saves the dialer a lot of attention...
