Sensing and monitoring professional skiers

We conducted a project with professional skiers and their trainers in which we used wearable sensors to improve the trainer-athlete relationship by helping them share their observations and impressions. In particular, we analyzed which sensors reveal important features describing the athlete´s motions. Visualization software shows the athletes´ movements by overlaying and synchronizing a video stream with sensor data. A system based on wearable sensors and video recording can reveal information about a skier´s motions, helping trainers identify the skier´s strengths and weaknesses.
