Developers of SkyScout™ Technology		Our Technology Almost everyone at some point has gazed up at the shimmering stars on a clear night and has been awestruck by the beauty and mystery of the universe. Millions of us have taken this a step further and purchased books, charts, DVD’s and even telescopes to better understand the stars and planets. However, learning the night sky has always been a difficult and time-consuming process; that is until now. After years of engineering research and testing, Yamcon has developed and patented SkyScout™ Technology. By combining data from 3-axis sensors measuring the magnetic and gravitational fields of the Earth, along with GPS and a substantial celestial database, SkyScout Technology enables a hand held device to accurately identify and/or locate nearly every object in the sky visible to the naked eye. Put simply, the device knows where you are on Earth, the precise angle at which you are holding it, and exactly what celestial object is in its direct path at the time and day of the year you are using it. It also works in reverse, helping you locate an object using directional arrows inside its viewer. A multi-media planetarium-like experience then tells you all about the objects you’re looking at. It is portable, rugged and compact, and requires no set-up or calibration whatsoever. This technology is totally new to the astronomy industry and significantly raises the bar for simplicity, accuracy and overall user experience. Yamcon believes that SkyScout Technology will dramatically improve the way people learn about astronomy, making it both easier and more entertaining. Yamcon currently holds patents in the United States, Australia and China and has additional applications filed in the U.S., Europe, Japan, Canada, and South America.
