At The Sybase Open (Page 6)

John and Nasif were able to use this two camera set up to film many of the top players in the world, including Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi. It was during this same period that Jani and John began pursuing the support of the Learning Technologies Project at NASA Ames, that led to the creation of the Aerodynamics in Sports Technology project. Eventually, the original ball speed analysis project became one aspect of the larger research effort, and Nasif Iskander joined our project as Co-investigator. University High School also joined the project as a collaborator.

The Aerodynamics in Sports project made it possible to take the study ball speed to a new level. University High School received new computer equipment and software from NASA. As co-investigator, Nasif now had more time and resources to pursue this aspect of the study of the flight of the tennis ball. With these project resources, he was able to write our own, custom analytic program that combined the data from the two cameras to pinpoint the location of the ball and calculate the speed.
