I taped an AirPod to a Hot Wheels car and used its motion sensor to rebuild my child's tracks in 3D

AirPods have a motion sensor(accelerometer and gyroscope) inside.

Apple uses it for spatial audio head tracking and a Mac can read that data throught bluetooth.

So I taped one to a Hot Wheels car, sent it down the track once, and used the recorded motion to rebuild the layout in 3D.

Before recording i did two things:
After mounting we should calibrate airpods and car(aripods should now where is forward and where is horizont)

It needs one measurement for more precise result.I took height of construction.

My 2013 Coupe

Was shopping for a Genesis Coupe or Veloster with a manual transmission. Came across this gem while looking for the “right” car. It has the 1.6L and 6-speed manual. I commute over an hour to work (was 2.5 hours when I bought it). It gets 36-41 MPG regularly and I’ve topped it out at 115 MPH. Oil and air filter changes regularly. AC went out and the paint is flaking off. Other than that, I’ve had no issues at just over 160K.
