Ski Science Lab

Ski is hard to learn. But no more with Ski Science Lab. Compare your data with pros for precise posture suggest.

I’ll make a ski tracking device to track every single move you’ve made, the posture you’ve had on the ski slope along with the altitude and the temperature/humidity on your trace. The project will equip this ST SensorTile on the back of the skier so it will be able to constantly collecting the gesture data via the 6-axis IMU and send it to the phone via Bluetooth. The data will be processed to show when you were skiing faster, where did you make a turn, where did you jump, where did you fall, etc. It will also collect other data on the trace to give a richer context of what was the environment like during your last trace. In addition to this, I’d add an external GPS to match the data to a map. Since everything will be stored in Firebase, the data will be aggregated and visualized on a Google map layer to show the activities and the data of your ski trip.

In addition to above features, I can also add an auto SOS feature if we sense unusual fall or sharp stop, it can send out SOS messages to the emergency contact. The skier could also click on a button to manually send out SOS message. The GPS coordinates will be sent along with the SOS message for rescuers to find the skier easier.
