Hybrid V3

Progress is almost at the point where players can begin training. Generally the training will consist of:
 
1. a series of videos that demonstrate how to set up the tracking of the wheel location, the ball, and the green zero. It is very simple but will cover the finer points so you'll have a good knowledge of everything before in-person training. (I'll do this first)
 
2. videos of actual application on a real wheel
 
3. written documentation similar to the Uber version's instructions as both the Uber and Hybrid use much the same features.
 
4. In-person training
 
I'm now satisfied that setup for the ball and rotor tracking is simple enough for anyone to use. As per my previous announcements, accuracy has been perfected for some time, but I wanted it to be simpler to setup so a user could see a quick instructional video and know what to do. Now setting up the automated timings takes about 60 seconds once the user knows what they're doing.
 
There will be a lot of new developments over the next week or so as we're putting the final parts in place. For the previous development, things felt very slow because the work is largely the kind of difficult development that takes most companies 5 or so years. But again these difficult parts are now done.
 
It is still difficult to estimate when things will be completed to the point where it can be used. What's left is some of the communications between electronic parts, and security features to the point where if a player is caught with the equipment, there is nothing substantial enough for the casino to have as evidence that any roulette computer is involved – ie not enough for any charges. Not that it would be used illegally anyway – its more a precaution in case the player obtained inaccurate legal advice about where they were playing.
 
Anyway the last parts may take about 3 weeks, then everything just needs to be tested thoroughly. I will know more about estimated time for completion soon. Purchasers will soon see more videos and it will become clearer how close we are.
