Technology used in Winter Sports
In modern times, augmented reality ski masks that integrate Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth features to monitor performance on the snow, ski goggles with integrated GPS mapping and route recording capabilities which show real-time speed and altitude exist. These devices are changing and advancing the athlete's training experience, their performance as well as the way the fans interact with the sporting product. AI and Simulation technology Technology such as Baidu’s AI and three-dimensional (3D) simulation technology (3D+AI ), captures and analyses athletes’ motions creating a computer-simulated 3D model for skiers. “3D+AI” is also revolutionising how TV and online viewers watch high-speed snow sports like freestyle skiing in an immersive and intuitive manner. It is also emerging as an essential training aid to pinpoint parameters that impact performance, helping skiers prepare training routines by recreating a 3D model of each skier in action and even fusing different models into on
