BetaHangtime is a web application that allows users to analyze rock climbing videos by recording and analyzing their keystrokes as a proxy for hand movements over time. By pressing and holding F (Left Hand) and J (Right hand), users can track their movements and obtain statistics on rock climbs they care about.
- Real-time movement tracking
- Detailed statistics on movement duration and frequency
- Easy sharing of statistics for YouTube and Instagram Comments
- Export timeseries data to CSV for further analysis
- Open the app at betahangtime.askadam.me
- Set up window next to a window of a climbing video
- Start the climbing video
- Start Recording
- Press 'F' and 'J' corresponding to when the left and right hand are on the wall
- Stop recording
- If satisfied with the quality, post statistics into comments
- Export data for future reference
- Pulling on with both hands counts as two moves whereas typically the first move is usually talked about as after establishing on the start.
- There is a learning curve to this. Try on a short video first.
- Predicting climbing movement can be tricky, having two climbing windows open with one a little ahead can help but I've found the framerate can drop
- Reaction time is about 0.2 seconds so differences that are smaller might not be relevant
