Projects
- SnowPro
Snowboarding is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. However, it is rather difficult to learn. Snowboarders who have reached an average level of expertise often find it difficult to improve their style without taking lessons. Moreover, some common mistakes, such as a wrong weight distribution inside the boots, are not visible to instructors. We therefore envision an interactive assistance system integrated into the clothes and the snowboard, which is capable of supporting snowboarders on the piste and helps them improve their riding style.
- RidersGuide
Although being great fun to exercise, skiing and snowboarding entail the risk of accidents such as any other high-energy participation sport. A factor increasing the risk of accidents is foggy weather, when the view limited to a few meters and safety-critical areas such as crossings, steep areas, obstacles and the edges of the slope cannot be made out. We therefore envision a navigation system supporting the wayfinding of skiers and snowboarders on ski slopes.
