Data Management on Spike TV’s Deadliest Warrior?

Spike TV’s Geoff Desmoulin, host of Deadliest Warrior, demonstrates how NI DIAdem is used to analyze fight data with John Graff, NI Vice President of Marketing, at NIWeek 2009.

In a fight to the death between a Spartan and a Ninja, who's the smart money on?

On Spike TV's Deadliest Warrior, Geoff Desmoulin and other scientists answer this question using data collected from real weapons, input from weapons experts, and simulated battle conditions, to determine the damage inflicted by these historical warriors. Once the data is collected, it's analyzed to determine which warrior would survive in a head-to-head battle. The show is an action-packed combination of exciting fight sequences and scientific testing to back up the conclusions.

Using NI DIAdem, Geoff and his team are able to quickly load the data collected from their varying sensors, analyze it for maximum impact, and display the data in a way that clearly shows the results to the viewers at home. With ever tightening production schedules, Geoff can use the interactivity of DIAdem to save time on analyzing and viewing the test data. And with advanced visualization tools such as video synchronization and 3D sensor mapping, the true impact of the weapons and warriors can be seen by the viewers at home.

Although the tests your performing may not include Samurai swords and Vikings, NI data management tools can help you find the answers you need and share them with others.
