Towards an Interactive Snowboarding Assistance System

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 expensive private lessons. Moreover, some of their performed actions would not even be visible for the instructors, as they happen inside the shoes. We are therefore developing an interactive integrated sensor system on the snowboard and on the body, which is capable of assisting snowboarders on the piste and helps them improve their riding style.
