Jon Gregory, a high-frequency trader, physicist and father of three from Perth, WA. Jon previously had his own high frequency trading business. There was a set of weights in his trading room, during quiet times on the markets he would use them to train. It felt odd to him that we were still using techniques from the iron ages to train with weights yet here he was writing sophisticated algorithms for financial market trading. So he set about building a mechanised weight system and writing algorithms to help humans train with weights more effectively which has led to the creation of the ultimate smart device Vitruvian Form.Website: vitruvianform.com
