Projecting, calculating, the next step.

Researchers have discovered that we most accurately hit targets when we see them 1 to 1.5 steps ahead of where we were. This is more difficult that it seems because we are making a plan, and at the same time we're making that plan, we're making a movement based on the stuff that we saw a second and half in the past according to the article by Erica Pandey.

Below this link, you will find our post on projecting and estimating steps. Much along the same lines but with a great video to set it up. Here is a lead in to that article we wrote long ago, on the strange steps at a Brooklyn subway station that everyone was tripping on.

 "At Brooklyn’s 36th Street subway stop, one of the steps is slightly higher than the others. Stairs have a standardized Rise and Run and when this is altered, specifically the Rise, funny things happen. Filmmaker Dean Peterson set up his camera to capture the stumbles and the video can be seen here http://vimeo.com/44807536 and above on our blog.

The dangerous step, it turns out (which has since this video been repaired), is apparently a half-inch higher than the others. Stairway design guidelines vary within a small range.  Guidelines call for risers to be a minimum of 6 inches and a maximum of 7 ¾ inches. The allowable variance between steps is 3/8 of an inch depending on the source you seek."   Read on  . . . . .
