New Update, New Standards: Ochy’s Speed Estimation Now More Precise Than Ever

A New Dimension in Running Analysis

With this update, Ochy takes performance analysis to the next level: the app can now estimate your running speed, directly from your video. It’s one more step toward a complete understanding of your technique — no sensors, no lab required.

Spatio-Temporal Metrics: Scientifically Precise

Thanks to extensive research, Ochy now delivers scientific-grade precision on key metrics:

  • Step frequency: 98.85% accuracy
  • Ground contact time: 88.71%
  • Flight time (air time): 93.04%

In short: the data you receive is reliable enough to truly support your progress, with impressive results achieved from simple smartphone footage.

Joint Angles: The Knee Leads the Way

When it comes to kinematics, the knee joint shows the highest level of accuracy, comparable to results from advanced 3D motion studies. Hip joint analysis also performs well, while ankle and elbow readings are more impacted by the limits of 2D pose estimation — a known area for future improvement.

What’s remarkable is that all of this precision comes from casual video recordings — not high-speed cameras or treadmill labs, proving Ochy’s ability to make elite-level tools available to everyone.

What You’ll Notice in the App 📲

This update isn’t just about numbers — it also brings noticeable improvements to your everyday experience:

  • 🏃‍♂️ Your running speed is now displayed directly in your analysis
  • 🧠 New exercises appear when your scores are strong (side view)
  • 📋 Exercise recommendations are now embedded directly in your report
  • 🏪 In-store analyses are automatically shared via email with athletes (exclusive to running store accounts)
