Using modern sensor technology and data-driven analysis, it measures the quality of movement directly on the slopes and presents the results in an easy-to-understand format. At the heart of the system is a sensor array attached to the ski boot. This array uses inertial measurement units (IMUs) to continuously record motion data, such as acceleration, rotation, and orientation. This data is processed in real time and converted into meaningful metrics. These include speed, edge angle, and other biomechanical parameters. Based on this data, a ski quality score is calculated to objectively evaluate technique and allow for easy interpretation. The system was developed in cooperation with Atomic (Altenmarkt, Austria) and the University of Salzburg, combining industrial product development with scientific research. Precise insights right on the slopes Analysis is performed directly in the field rather than in a laboratory. This enables [&hellip;]"}
